Here is a list of some products that should should look in your pantry for.

Bestco, Inc., recalled its Signature Care Calcium Chews supplements because of mislabeled packaging. The labels incorrectly listed the level of Vitamin D at 25 mcg, when the product contains 12.5 mcg. The cause of the mislabeling was a lack of proper revisions. The recall was nationwide.
Poppies International, Inc., recalled its frozen Belgian Mini Chocolate Topped Eclairs for possible contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. This recall affects the entire country and is ongoing.
Precise Food Ingredients, Inc., recalled its Roast Beef Gravy Seasoning because of the possibility of salmonella contamination. The recall was focused on Texas and lasted from March through May.

Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage recalled its Organic Coconut Smiles product because testing was positive for salmonella. This recall is ongoing and affects all Natural Grocer stores nationwide.

Nueske’s Meat Products, Inc., recalled both its Braised Pork Medallions and Shanks due to incorrect product labels. The labels do not list the ingredients brown rice flour and glycerin due to an internal miscommunication.
People’s Sausage Co., recalled several of its jerky and meat stick products. The company had produced these items without receiving an approved voluntary grant of inspection.
Land O’Frost, Inc., recalled its Old World Style Black Forest Ham products because of improper labeling. While the front side of the package correctly lists ham, the back instead lists “honey smoked turkey breast.”

Texas Natural Meats recalled its Green Field Farms Rogers Texas Ground Beef frozen meat products because of contamination from E. coli.

If you have any health concerns, consult a medical professional. You may also be eligible to participate in a lawsuit. In this case personal injury lawyers can assist you in getting your lawsuit ready.
