FDA Recalls 200K Green Bean Cans Over Contamination

If you love to do all your one-stop shopping at Target, then you need to know about the Target green bean recall. It’s part of the FDA food recalls this week, as part of the retail giant’s Good and Gather brand. 

Target Green Bean Recall

This round of FDA recalls applies to Target’s Good & Gather Cut Green Beans brand. They’ve potentially been contaminated by a foreign object. 

If that sounds ominous, it’s dangerous enough to be classified as a Class II notice, the FDA’s second-highest risk level. According to the website, these FDA recalls apply to: 

a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

Currently, the recall is marked as “ongoing” and we haven’t been informed about what the foreign object might be.

Food recalls today aren’t terribly uncommon. It’s nothing to live in fear of and the FDA keeps a close oversight over these matters. Still, it’s worrisome, as we’re always working hard to protect our families.

Should You Be Worried?
