Even More Snack Foods Have Been Added to This Serious Food Recall — Eat This Not That
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a serious food recall for a variety of snack foods due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes a variety of products from multiple brands, including some popular snacks.
The recall includes products from brands such as Utz, Golden Flake, Good Health Natural Foods, and more. The products include potato chips, tortilla chips, popcorn, and other snack foods. The products were distributed in retail stores and online in the United States.
The FDA is advising consumers to not eat any of the recalled products and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers should also check their pantries for any of the recalled products and discard them if they are present.
The FDA is also warning consumers to be aware of the symptoms of Listeria infection, which can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these symptoms after eating any of the recalled products, seek medical attention immediately.
This recall is a reminder to always check the labels of food products before consuming them. It is also important to be aware of food recalls and to take them seriously.

This first Tastykake recall was initiated because an ingredients supplier had advised the company of the “potential presence of tiny fragments of metal mesh wire,” per the company’s announcement. The original recalled Tastykake snacks had been distributed in the following U.S. locations: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, and West Virginia. As a result, Walmart, Target, and Giant Eagle were among the major retailers who responded by pulling the Tastykake cupcakes from shelves.
On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published an amended announcement to expand that recall wider. Flowers Foods, Inc. has now recalled various-sized packages of Tastykake Krimpets filled with butterscotch, cream, and jelly. The Tastykake Krimpets had been distributed to the same areas listed above.
The company states that no illness or injuries had been reported as of the publication dates of their two recall announcements. “Best By” dates for these Tastykake products range between November and December 2021, and UPC numbers for the recalled products are available here.
