13 of the Biggest Food Recalls for New York This August

Have you noticed that recalls are more common these days than they used to be? Or is it just my imagination? It seems every week we are informing you about one or more major recalls from food to build products to automobile issues.

Taking a look at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website as of this article, I found 26 recalls in the month of August alone. Doesn't that seem like a lot?

The latest recall came out on August 30th for Asli Fine Foods for the 7-ounce Asli Cinnamon Powder due to a possible health risk. The reason for the recall is because the product may contain lead. The product was sold in stores in the states of Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio.

One day earlier, M&P Food Production of Brooklyn, New York recalled multiple flavors of blintzes, pirozhki, and vareniki. the reason is that the product may contain undeclared wheat, milk, and/or sesame which is not good for those who have those types of allergies or severe sensitivity. This product was sold in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and Florida.

We reported on August 28th, about theTerrafina Golden Raisins recall due to undeclared allergen-undeclared sulfites, distributed in New York State. The recall was initially announced on August 26.
