Consumers who like raisins tend to like the dried version of a cranberry, which is sour and sweet at the same time. But consumers should look at the package of Ocean Spray Craisins on their pantry shelf as certain packages have been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to small metal fragment contamination, described as “hair-like” and not likely to cause harm to consumers. The recall notice, issued Monday, November 28, has the specific lots that are affected.
They include:
- 5-ounce, 10-ounce, and 48-ounce packages, as well as a bulk 10 pound size. There have been no reports of consumer injuries or complaints. Ocean Spray says it voluntarily recalled the product in an “abundance of caution” to keep consumers safe.
- Most of the products have a “Best by Dates” of October and November 2012. The larger package is good until October and November 2013.
For any questions regarding the recall, the Ocean Spray Hotline number is 1(800) 662-3263. Consumers should destroy the product, but keep the UPC label and receive a coupon for a replacement product.
