Freeze-dried fruit might have metal. The recall hits Target, Kroger, CVS, others
Freeze -dried strawberries covered in chocolate shouldn’t have metal — actual, hard metal — which is why Georgia Nut Company recalled two kinds of Tru Fru nationwide.
“Hard or sharp foreign objects in food may cause traumatic injury including laceration and perforation of tissues of the mouth, tongue, throat, stomach and intestine as well as damage to the teeth and gums,” the recall notice stated.
This recall includes some of the nation’s largest grocery sellers, such as Kroger, Albertson’s, Food Lion, H-E-B and Target. Also involved are CVS, Hungryroot, Ingles Markets and Stew Leonard’s.
