These shucked, easy-open cans were distributed to retailers in 13 states, including California, New York, and Texas. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date in connection with this recall.
PFAS are man-made chemicals that do not break down easily and can accumulate in the body over time. Long-term exposure to high levels of PFAS is associated with health risks such as developmental delays in children, hormonal interference, and increased risk of certain types of cancer.
