Grain Processing Corporation has recalled 3,790 bags of Pure Dent B700 Food Corn Starch after a customer found metal slivers in the product. The metal pieces range from 1 mm to 30 mm in length, which could pose a significant health or safety hazard if consumed. These 50 lb bags were distributed to food industry customers in Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Canada. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
The presence of metal slivers up to 30 mm (about 1.2 inches) in length poses a serious choking hazard and a risk of dental injury or internal cuts if the product is ingested. One customer report of these metal fragments has been received.
