El Chavito is recalling approximately 67,552 packages of Saladitos Dried Salted Plums and Saladitos Enchilados Salted Plums with Chili because they may contain lead. The recall affects 1.7 oz bags distributed nationwide across all lots and best-by dates. Lead is a toxic substance that can cause serious health problems, especially in children and pregnant women, and consumers should immediately check their pantries for these products.
The products may be contaminated with lead, a heavy metal that can cause developmental delays, neurological damage, and other chronic health issues when ingested over time. No specific injuries have been reported, but lead exposure can be harmful even if no symptoms are immediately present.
