Currently, health authorities in the United States announced the precautionary recall of a popular frozen potato product after identifying a risk of possible contamination with hard, transparent plastic fragments. The measure aims to protect consumers from potential mouth or throat injuries and choking hazards.
The recall affects specific batches distributed through supermarkets and retail stores. Although no serious incidents linked to the product have been confirmed, authorities recommend not consuming it if it belongs to the lots listed in the alert.
Customers who purchased the product should check the lot number and expiration date printed on the packaging. If the details match the affected batches, consumers are advised to return it to the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer to request a refund.
Such actions are part of food safety protocols designed to minimize risks and maintain consumer confidence.
What should you do if you have the product at home?
Verify the lot number on the package. If it matches the recalled batches, do not consume it and arrange a return or refund.
