Wow! Well, I’m eating my words from last week. The continued monitoring of iceberg lettuce has a big breakthrough and a few other recalls are sprinkled into the week. I guess that’s what we get for having a bit of a lull earlier this month. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s dive right in. Just be sure to keep your mouth closed so you don’t catch any recalled strays!

Iceberg Lettuce ― Cyclospora Parasite
An update to last week’s recall talks, Taylor Farms has officially called for a voluntary recall of their iceberg lettuce. This is due to the ongoing national concern of Cyclospora contamination.

The shredded iceberg product was distributed June 29th through July 16th in AL, AR, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI. A complete list of affected products, lot codes, and use-by dates can be found on the FDA’s website.
Banana & Strawberry Fruit Puree Pouches ― Plastic
Organics Limited is voluntarily recalling select Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry 4oz pouches. This is due to an internal packaging defect that may result in the presence of soft, food-grade plastic in the finished product.
