2 FOOD RECALLS: S&W and O Organic Canned Beans ALSO Randall Beans Are Recalled

[IcyPeas]

Improper seals could cause bacterial contamination in cans, exposing consumers to risk of illness

The beans involved in this recall are 15-ounce cans of S&W Organic Black Beans, O Organics Black Beans, and O Organics Chili Beans distributed between August 2020 and April 2021. This is an extension of a recall of the same beans in April. No illnesses have been reported.

The products carry “best by” dates of July 19, 2022, through March 16, 2023, along with a lot code on the bottom of the can. (You can find a list of the lot codes on the FDA’s website.) The beans were shipped to stores in Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. The previously recalled beans have different lot codes and best-by dates.

One of the products, S&W Organic Black Beans, is sold at Costco, which issued its own recall (PDF) Tuesday.

Products Recalled

• 15-ounce cans of S&W Organic Black Beans with the best-by dates in July 2022, September 2022, January 2023, February 2023, and March 2023. See the FDA announcement for a full list of dates and lot codes.

• 15-ounce cans of O Organics Black Beans with a best-by date of Feb. 2, 2023, and lot code 981A 035 21.

___________

All of the beans Randall Foods produces are part of this recall. These include: black beans, garbanzo beans, great northern beans, kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, mixed beans, and Ultimate 4-Bean Mix.

The beans were shipped to stores in 22 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The Details
Products recalled: All types of Randall-branded beans (which are packaged in glass jars) with a best-buy date before Jan. 1, 2025. The recall includes all container sizes and lot numbers. (See the FDA’s list of UPC codes.)

The problem: The beans were processed at unknown temperatures. That increases the risk that they could spoil prematurely or possibly be contaminated with bacteria that causes foodborne illness, in particular Clostridium botulinum, which produces a toxin that can cause botulism.

Feel kind of bad because the jar I brought back is pretty empty.
