What to do about Food safety
AquaStar Corp. — This product was withdrawn on a food safety ground. The lot codes listed are what define the recall — identical packs from other runs are unaffected.
- Stop eating it and check the codes on your pack against the identifiers listed on this page.
- Bag it and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.
- Wash anything it touched, and clean the shelf it was stored on if the pack has leaked.
- Check the freezer and pantry for other packs from the same codes.
Getting a refund without the pack
The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.
- A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
- Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
- No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
- For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
