Recall Overview
Nearly 23,000 pounds of Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler are being recalled after a consumer discovered a metal fragment in a fully cooked product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall, noting that no injuries have been reported.
Product Details and Distribution
The recall covers several package sizes: 62.4-ounce bulk pans and 4.8-ounce single-serving trays of baked spaghetti, as well as 48-ounce family-size pans and 11.6-ounce single-serving trays of chicken cobbler. All items were produced between July 1 and July 29, 2026 and bear “best-by” dates ranging from July 8 through early August. Distribution channels included retail outlets in Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, Department of War commissaries, and online sales.
FSIS Response
FSIS stated that the recall was triggered after the establishment received a consumer complaint about a metal piece in a fully cooked product. The agency advises anyone who purchased the affected items to discard them or return them for a full refund and, if concerned about injury, to contact a healthcare provider.
Consumer Guidance
Customers who bought the recalled spaghetti or cobbler—whether fresh or stored in freezers—should not consume the products. Refunds are available through the point of purchase. FSIS emphasizes that the recall is precautionary and that no confirmed injuries have occurred.
