Recalls / Reason(s)

• 5/3/25 – Food & Beverage – Tomatoes – Potential Foodborne Illness – Salmonella
  • “Hanshaw & Capling Farms initiated the recall due to the possible presence of Salmonella in their facility.” 1
• 5/2/25 – Food & Beverage – Tomatoes – Potential Foodborne Illness – Salmonella.
  • “On April 29, 2025, the firm was notified via telephone by Southeast Tomato Distributors that tomatoes supplied from H&C Farms may be contaminated with Salmonella.” 2

  • “The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing the milk protein was in packaging that did not properly label the presence of milk.” 3
• 4/29/25 – Male Enhancement Dietary Supplements – Undeclared Chloropretadalafil, Propoxyphenylsildenafil, Sildenafil.
  • “Laboratory analysis has found the products to be tainted with chloropretadalafil, propoxyphenylsildenafil, and sildenafil. Sildenafil is an ingredient in FDA approved products for treatment of male erectile dysfunction in the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors. Chloropretadalafil and propoxyphenylsildenafil are analogues of PDE-5 inhibitors and are likely to carry the same clinical risks. Products containing chloropretadalafil, propoxyphenylsildenafil, and sildenafil cannot be marketed as dietary supplements. These products are unapproved new drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall” 4
• 4/29/25 – Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon – Potential or Undeclared Allergen – Milk.
  • “A limited quantity of Trader Joe’s Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon is voluntarily being recalled because the topping packet may potentially contain an undeclared milk allergen.” 5
