About foreign object concerns
Foreign objects in canned goods can include metal, plastic or other materials introduced during processing, posing risks such as choking, dental injury or gastrointestinal irritation if consumed. While the recall notice did not specify the object type, the Class II designation suggests any health impact would likely be minor and temporary. Consumers who experience unusual symptoms—such as mouth injury, discomfort, or digestive issues—after consuming this product should seek medical attention promptly.
