Vbest Inc is recalling 50 cartons of Salted Dried Plums (Saladitos) because the product was found to contain high levels of lead following sampling by the California Department of Public Health. Lead is a toxic substance that can cause serious health issues, especially in children and pregnant women. These plums were distributed in California and Washington in 500 kg cartons containing 20 kg plastic bags. Consumers should not eat these plums and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The product contains high levels of lead, which can accumulate in the body over time and cause permanent damage to the brain and nervous system, particularly in developing children. Lead exposure can also lead to kidney damage and high blood pressure in adults.
Full refund at the place of purchase.
