Canned mandarin oranges labeled in part recall
Recalled by Acme Food Sales, Inc · Seattle, WA, United States
Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.
Why it was recalled
The firm received two consumer complaints regarding chemical smell/taste and tasting like the can. As a result the firm began extensive testing of its inventory. Preliminary testing identified a contaminant was present. Further testing is pending to specifically identify the contaminant.
Some of these cause harm only with repeated exposure (lead in spices, for example), others act within hours (histamine poisoning from spoiled fish). All chemical contamination recalls.

Where it was sold
Utah
FDA's distribution note: The product was distributed to one wholesaler - Associated Food Stores (AFS) Farr West, Far West, Utah. The January 31, 2015 code was first not thought to have been distributed to retail, however; Associated Food Stores corrected this information and issued a second recall notice because the product had been distributed from their warehouse to retail. Lot codes with Best Buy: DEC 15 2014 and DEC 15 2014 were not distributed out of Acme's warehouse and are currently under their control.
Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
