Walmart’s Recent Update on Canned Food Recall Affects 50,000 Products

Over the weekend, Walmart grabbed headlines as the Associated Press reported that ongoing tariff discussions could lead to price increases for shoppers at the retail giant. President Trump even took to social media to address Walmart, calling on them to "eat the tariffs."

Adding to the news cycle, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released an important update regarding a recent canned goods recall. This recall, which was initially announced by Walmart, pertains to a baked bean brand that was found to have undeclared allergens due to mislabeling. The product, labeled as Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans, actually contains Beef and BBQ Baked Beans, which include soy, a potential allergen that was not listed on the label.

In a Saturday report, the FDA revealed that a total of 54,180 cans of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans are being recalled. Previously, it was only known that 4,515 cases were involved, so this latest update provides more detailed information. The affected shipments span across multiple states, including Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, and others.

This recall has been classified as a Class I recall by the FDA, indicating a high level of severity. Class I recalls are reserved for situations where the use of the product could result in serious adverse health consequences or death.

On Walmart’s website, a link to the FDA’s announcement has been shared, with the company stating that the recalled product was sold at all of its stores. However, it was also noted that the baked beans were available at other retailers such as Meijer and Amazon. It is advisable for consumers to check the product details provided by the FDA to ensure they are not affected.
