Headline: Trader Joe’s Recalls Crackers Over Potential Metal Contamination
Sub-headline: Second Major Recall from the Budget Grocer in Recent Weeks
New York, NY – In a recent announcement, budget grocer Trader Joe’s has issued a recall for a variety of its crackers, due to concerns that they may contain metal. This marks the second significant recall from Trader Joe’s in recent weeks, attributed to the possible intrusion of foreign objects in their food products.
Trader Joe’s alerted the public to the recall on Thursday. The concern extends specifically to the company’s multigrain crackers that are enhanced with sunflower and flax seeds. These crackers, now a subject of scrutiny, are suspected to be possibly contaminated with metal. More details about the recall can be found on the company’s [website](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/announcements?category=recalls&id=1848230510).
The crackers under recall can be identified by specific “Best if used by” dates printed on the back of the boxes. Consumers are advised to check for dates ranging from March 1, 2024, to March 5, 2024. Any boxes bearing these dates are potentially affected by the metal contamination issue.
Despite the serious nature of the recall, Trader Joe’s has assured customers that no injuries related to the potentially contaminated product have been reported so far. The company also stated that all potentially affected products have been removed from sale and destroyed, in a proactive measure to prevent any risk to consumers.
For customers who have purchased the affected crackers, the company has issued advice to either discard the boxes or return them to their nearest Trader Joe’s store. In return, customers will receive a full refund for the recalled product.
This latest recall follows another recent incident in which Trader Joe’s had to recall two types of cookies. The cookies were suspected to [possibly contain rocks](https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/24/business/trader-joes-rock-cookies/index.html), leading to another major product recall. These back-to-back recalls have put the safety and quality control measures of the budget grocer under the spotlight.
