Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 86 cases of Backcountry Dried Apricots sold in 9-ounce plastic bags are being recalled because they contain sulfites that are not listed on the label. This recall covers products with 'Best By' dates of 07/2021, 11/2021, and 12/2021. The apricots were distributed to retail locations across 18 states, including Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. Because the label does not disclose the presence of sulfites, consumers who have a sensitivity to this substance may experience a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat the product.

Risk

The product contains sulfites, which can cause a severe allergic-type reaction in sensitive individuals. People with sulfite sensitivity may experience symptoms ranging from mild hives or stomach upset to life-threatening anaphylaxis if the substance is consumed without their knowledge.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for Backcountry Dried Apricots in 9-ounce plastic bags with Product Number 276033.
  2. Locate the identification codes on the packaging to see if your product is affected: look for Lot No. 440021117 and Best By Dates of 07/2021, 11/2021, or 12/2021.
  3. If you have an affected product and a sensitivity to sulfites, do not consume it.
  4. Return the product to the retail location where it was purchased for a full refund.
  5. For additional questions or to report a reaction, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
