Heart of the Valley brand Parsnips recall
Recalled by Ed Fields & Sons, Inc · Andover, MN, United States
Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.
Why it was recalled
Parsnips were found to be above tolerance, maximum residue level, for the pesticide linuron.
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.

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.
