Straus said the recall is voluntary and driven by food-safety concerns. The company is working with retailers to remove the identified products and is offering replacement vouchers. It advises consumers not to return the items to stores. The FDA notice echoes this guidance, urging consumers to discard the product, avoid consumption, and check the “best-by” dates. Both parties confirm that no injuries have been reported.

Consumers with any of the listed flavors and the specified best-by dates should discard the product. The company’s recall webpage offers a voucher redeemable for a replacement at the retailer. The recall underscores the need for rapid removal of hazardous food items to prevent injury from metal fragments.
