“The safety of our consumers is our first priority,” said Tom Byrne, President of Growers Express in a statement. “We self-reported the need for this recall to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and stopped production immediately after being notified of a single positive sample by the Massachusetts Department of Health. We are deep sanitizing the entire facility and our line equipment, as well as conducting continued testing on top of our usual battery of sanitation and quality and safety tests before resuming production.”
If you’ve purchased any of the recalled products, the FDA urges customers to not consume them and throw them away.
