The hazard: Microbial contamination

This recall is a contamination finding. The product may be perfectly normal to look at, because testing — not appearance — is what caught it.

What the notice says: Potential to be contaminated with mold

Why it matters: The product was found, or is suspected, to carry a harmful micro-organism. The agency notice names the specific organism and that detail matters, because the illness it causes and the people most at risk differ from one to the next.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Most foodborne infections cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and sometimes fever, starting anywhere from hours to weeks after exposure depending on the organism. See a doctor for a high fever, bloody diarrhoea, vomiting that stops you keeping liquids down, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, or signs of dehydration. Infants, pregnant people, adults over 65 and anyone immunocompromised should seek advice earlier.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Contamination

Wildly Beloved Food — This recall is a contamination finding. The product may be perfectly normal to look at, because testing — not appearance — is what caught it.

  1. Stop eating it and keep it separate from other food.
  2. Read the official notice for the organism named — the advice for Listeria, Salmonella and hepatitis A is not the same.
  3. If anyone who ate it is unwell, mention the recall and the date by name when you call a clinician.
  4. Bag and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.

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.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased affected products in 10oz. packages are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
