Safeway Kitchens In Shell Edamame recall

Recalled by Safeway Inc · Pleasanton, CA, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

Product on hold pending FDA testing that found 0.015 ppm of the pesticide chlorafluazuron was inadvertently released to Safeway warehouses and a few retail stores.

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.

FDA's distribution note: Southern CA

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.
