The USDA has issued a public health alert regarding certain frozen soup and bowl products that may contain cilantro contaminated with wood. The alert specifically mentions products from various brands, including Molly's and Campbell's, raising concerns among consumers about the potential health risks associated with these items.
The contamination was identified during routine inspections, prompting the USDA to take immediate action to ensure public safety. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for specific products that may be affected by this alert. The presence of wood in food products can pose serious health risks, including choking hazards and potential injury to the digestive tract.
The USDA recommends that anyone who has purchased these products should not consume them and instead return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The agency is working closely with manufacturers to address the situation and prevent any further contamination. Consumers are urged to stay informed and prioritize their health and safety.
