Tropique Fruit Jelly and Animal Jars Recalled for Choking Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Comercial Mexicana is recalling approximately 1,500 cases of Tropique brand jelly products, including Assorted Fruit Jelly bags and various Animal-shaped jars. The jelly products pose a significant choking hazard because they are small, firm, and contain an ingredient that does not dissolve easily in the mouth. These products were sold in retail stores throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Consumers should not consume these jellies and should return them to the store where they were purchased.

Risk

The size and consistency of these jelly products can cause them to become lodged in a person's throat, creating a serious choking risk. This is particularly dangerous for children and the elderly who may have difficulty swallowing firm, non-dissolvable food items.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for Tropique brand jelly products, including the 10.6oz Assorted Fruit Jelly bag (UPC 732068496333) and 26oz Animal Jars shaped like Tigers, Owls, Ducks, Bears, Pandas, Pigs, and Cats.
  2. Identify affected products by checking the 'Best Before' dates: September 17, 2021 for the bags, and January 18, 2022 for all animal jars. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Comercial Mexicana for further instructions.
