Mexpogroup Cactus Grown in Mexico recall

Recalled by Shasta Produce · South San Francisco, CA, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

CA Dept of Pesticide Regulation, Enforcement Branch, sampled Mexpogroup Cactus and found the following chemical which do not have a tolerance level in the US: Monocrotophos - 2.37 ppm; Carbendazim as Thiophanate Methyl - 0.154 ppm; Chlorothalonil - 3.61 ppm.

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.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. 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.
