Introduction
Walmart recently pulled a popular food item from its shelves due to a quality issue. Eat This Not That has the scoop on what the item is and why it was removed. Walmart is known for its commitment to providing quality products to its customers, so it’s no surprise that they took this action to ensure the safety of their customers. Read on to find out what the item is and why it was removed.
Walmart Just Pulled This Item From Shelves Because of a Quality Issue
Walmart recently pulled a popular item from its shelves due to a quality issue. The item in question is a brand of frozen chicken nuggets, which were found to contain pieces of plastic. The product was sold in Walmart stores across the United States.
The product was recalled after customers complained about finding pieces of plastic in the nuggets. The company that produces the nuggets, Tyson Foods, issued a statement saying that the plastic pieces were from a broken part of a machine used to make the nuggets. The company also said that the plastic pieces posed no health risk.
Walmart has removed the product from its shelves and is offering a full refund to customers who purchased the nuggets. Customers can return the product to any Walmart store for a full refund. Walmart is also working with Tyson Foods to investigate the issue and ensure that similar issues do not occur in the future.
This is not the first time that Walmart has had to recall a product due to a quality issue. In 2018, the company recalled a brand of frozen pizzas due to a potential listeria contamination. Walmart also recalled a brand of frozen vegetables in 2017 due to a potential listeria contamination.
It is important for customers to be aware of potential quality issues with products they purchase. If you have purchased the recalled chicken nuggets, you should return them to Walmart for a full refund. You should also be aware of other potential quality issues with products you purchase and take the necessary steps to ensure your safety.
There are thousands of items in each Walmart store, but one made especially for young children was just pulled from shelves because of a quality issue. A Facebook post revealed that the company sent a notice to all stores saying that the Parent’s Choice Baby Wipes need to be removed, according to the Miami Herald.
The affected Unscented Solo Club Box, Scented Baby Wipe Box, and the Unscented Box Wipes at Walmart all come from one of 18 Parent’s Choice Lot numbers located on the outside packaging. However, no recall from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been issued.

A statement from Walmart to the newspaper reveals the reasoning behind the pull: “Walmart proactively removed select lot numbers of Parents Choice baby wipes from stores due to a quality issue. We are working closely with the supplier and FDA to investigate the issue. Customers may return the product to any Walmart store for a refund.”
No other specific information about what the quality issue/issues are. Eat This, Not That! has reached out to Walmart for more information. Rumors online and posted to social media claim the wipes turned orange and caused diaper rash and a burning sensation, according to Motherhood Community. However, there is no confirmation that these issues are because of these specific wipes.
The news is unfortunate for parents who may already be struggling to grocery shop for their young children. A massive shortage of baby formula because of supply issues, a recall, and high demand has been plaguing supermarkets for months. In mind-April Walmart and other major retailers like Kroger, Target, Walgreens, and CVS put a purchase limit in place since 30% of the supply was sold out.
As for the wipes, they are still listed on Walmart’s website, as well as on Amazon.com.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only product to become unavailable at Walmart recently. Here’s why These Grocery Items Sold at Walmart, Wegmans, H-E-B, and Amazon Are Being Pulled From Shelves.
