Walmart Great Value Frozen Berries

The FDA has announced a recall of Great Value-branded frozen berries sold at Walmart stores that may be contaminated with Escherichia coli O145:H28 (E. coli O145). The recalled frozen fruit was sold at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. 


Walmart is recalling one lot of its Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend, which comes in 10-ounce bags and contains strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. The recalled frozen berries are labelled with UPC number 787421122, and the lot code is 6040 01-6. Additionally, the affected product contains a Best-If-Used-By Date of Feb. 9, 2028. No other Great Value-branded frozen fruits or lots of the Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend are impacted by this recall.


If you have the recalled frozen berries, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to Walmart for a full refund. If you have consumed the recalled Great Value Triple Berry Blend, you should monitor yourself for symptoms, such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, or contact your healthcare provider.

So Delicious Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

According to a Sept. 15 press release, Danone USA issued a voluntary recall of So Delicious Dairy Free Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert pints because they may contain foreign materials, specifically “small stones and other hard objects” within the cashew inclusions. 


This recall includes any pints of So Delicious Dairy Free Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert with “best by” dates on and before April 3, 2028. The affected product is sold nationwide in retailers including Target, Whole Foods, and more, and bears the SKU number 136603 and UPC 744473476138. To determine if you purchased a recalled lot of the frozen treat, check the bottom of the pint for the “best by” date and other identifying information. You can also find photos of the recalled product and packaging within the press release.


According to the packaging, the frozen dessert includes cashew pieces in addition to chocolatey flakes and a salted caramel swirl. At this time, no other So Delicious codes, flavors, or products are affected, and unaffected products are still available on shelves.  


Consumers who purchased the recalled product are advised not to consume it. Instead, you can throw away the pint and contact the So Delicious Dairy Free Consumer Care Line at 1-833-367-8975 for a replacement coupon or refund.



Saratoga Potato Chips

On Sept. 16, Saratoga Potato Chips announced a voluntary recall of select lots of its J. Higgs Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Potato Chips due to an undeclared allergen. After finding that the product may contain undeclared soy, the brand recalled the J. Higgs Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Potato Chips as a precaution to ensure consumer health and safety, as it could pose a serious threat to customers with soy allergies.


The recall affects J. Higgs Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Potato Chips sold in 7.75-ounce packages with the UPC number 0-51933-31645-4. In addition, the affected bags, which were sold at Save A Lot stores and distributed across Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, and Tennessee, have “Best If Used By” dates of Dec. 11, 2026, and Dec. 18, 2026 in the top right corner of the packaging.


If you have a soy allergy and purchased the recalled Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Chips, you should not consume this product as it may contain undeclared soy and cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. Instead, throw the chips away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.


If you do not have a soy allergy, the chips are still safe to consume, since they were recalled for an undeclared allergen on the packaging—not because they are inherently unsafe to consume. No other Saratoga products are impacted by this recall. 



Walmart Bettergoods Frozen Pasta

On Sept. 15, Gias Foods announced a recall of two lots of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine, which were sold at Walmart stores nationwide. According to the FDA, the frozen pasta was recalled due to potential Listeria contamination.


The recall was issued after a routine sampling program conducted by the Washington State Department of Agriculture and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services indicated that the Bettergoods products may contain Listeria bacteria. Gias Foods has since ceased the distribution of the product, and both the company and the FDA are investigating potential causes.


The recalled frozen product is 22 ounces and packaged in yellow plastic. The affected batches of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine are feature the UPC number 194346442706 and are marked with either lot # L6079C or # L6080C. The products at risk of contamination also have an expiration date of 09/19/2027 or 09/20/2027. Both the lot numbers and expiration dates are stamped on the back of the packaging.


While no illnesses have been reported to date, the FDA states that Listeria monocytogenes may cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children and those with weakened immune systems, and can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant people. Even healthy individuals can experience short-term symptoms including fevers, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.


Consumers who have purchased the recalled lots of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine can return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, and contact the company at sales@giasfoods.com with any questions.



Taylor Farms Ready-To-Eat Foods

After an original recall in August, more than 20 ready-to-eat Taylor Farms products, including sandwiches, salsa, guacamole, and other dips, have been upgraded to Class I, which is the highest-risk recall, according to an update from the FDA on Sept. 15. The affected foods were originally recalled because they contain jalapeños that were recalled by Coast Citrus Distributors for possible Salmonella contamination, which has now been ranked as a Class I recall more than a month after the initial outbreak. 


This product recall is part of a larger investigation by the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections. The affected fresh jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico were also linked to foods served at Chipotle and Qdoba. So far, the outbreak has sickened 431 people and resulted in 57 hospitalizations, though the actual number of illnesses is likely higher. 


The recalled products were distributed under several brand names including Kroger Private Selection, Taylor Farms, Trader Joe’s, and Walmart Freshness Guaranteed. Affected peppers were also featured in unbranded in-house products for the deli sections of Hannaford, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Target, and Whole Foods. The products were distributed to retail distribution centers—including Trader Joe’s, Target, Walmart, and more—in 26 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin.


If you purchased any of the recalled products, you are urged not to consume them. Instead, discard them immediately. You can receive a refund at the original point of purchase.


If you have already consumed any of the recalled products containing jalapeños, you should monitor yourself for symptoms of a Salmonella infection, which can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. If you are experiencing any symptoms of a Salmonella infection or have any health-related questions, contact your healthcare provider immediately.


For any questions associated with this recall, consumers can contact Taylor Fresh Foods’ customer care team at 855-455-0098.
