Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods is recalling six prepared-food products that may contain small pieces of aluminum from baking pans.
The recall covers certain baked spaghetti, chicken cobbler, and bread pudding products sold primarily in Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, with one product also distributed in Kentucky.
No injuries have been reported, but consumers should not eat the recalled products and may return them for a full refund.
Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods is recalling six prepared-food products because they may contain small slivers of aluminum, according to a company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Richmond, Virginia-based company said it discovered a small piece of aluminum during a routine review of a baking pan used to prepare the products. A similar metal fragment was also found in a chicken cobbler product.
No injuries had been reported when the recall was announced. However, foreign objects in food can cause cuts or other injuries to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract.
The baking-pan supplier has been notified and is taking steps to remove potentially affected lots of pans from distribution, Ukrop’s said.
