A macaroni and cheese brand sold in mega-chains including Target, Safeway, and Stop & Shop was voluntarily recalled over concerns that the products may have spoiled due to refrigeration problems, according to a report.
Reser’s Fine Foods recalled two of its macaroni & cheese products last week – the standard and the white cheddar version, according to Newsweek.
The brand pulled the 12oz products, which are sold in California, Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, after a refrigeration unit on a trailer malfunctioned, the publication reported.
The recall has been classified as a Class II risk, which means that the “product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” as per the Food and Drug administration.
Twelve more of the brand’s products have been recalled, including Reser’s Essential Everyday Original Potato Salad – 16 oz, Rese’s American Classics Scalloped Potatoes – 12 oz, Reser’s American Classics Asiago Creamed Spinach – 12 oz, and Reser’s Raspberry Parfait Desserts – 8 lbs, Newsweek said.
Customers who have purchased any of the recalled items are being advised not to consume the products, and those with allergies should take precautions.
Reser’s Fine Foods also voluntarily recalled Hill Country Fare Mustard Potato Salad 48oz in July, sold in H-E-B and Joe V’s Smart Shop locations in Texas, due to the possibility of pieces of hard plastic foreign material in the package, according to the FDA.
