It’s the first week of 2025, and a food alert and recall have already been issued, which may affect food sold in New York State.
If we learned anything from 2024, it’s that food recalls are common. There appears to be a new recall almost every week.
But for shoppers, this is good news because we are learning more about the dangers of certain foods and other items regulated by the CDC and the FDA.
According to reports, the first recall of the year is related to broccoli sold at various Walmart stores. The alert is precautionary, as the majority of the bags involved have been sold or discarded.
“The specific product involved are 12oz bags of Marketside Broccoli Florets sold at Walmart stores identified by having a UPC code 6 81131 32884 5 on back of bag, with Best if Used by Date Dec 10, 2024, and Lot Code: BFFG327A6 on front of bag” .
