Pickles Recall Update As FDA Issues Risk Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recall of several varieties of pickles because of container damage has been classified as having a potentially significant level of risk to consumers in Minnesota by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The reason for the recall last month of Gedney Foods Company's branded pickles was because products "were slated for disposal due to product and container damage, but were inadvertently sold," according to FDA reports. The recall was classified on Tuesday as a Class II, out of the three possible classes indicating the level of risk to consumers. Newsweek has contacted Gedney Foods Company outside of regular working hours via email for comment. Why It Matters The classification suggests that use of these products may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, but that the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. If products are not packaged or sealed properly, it runs the risk that a product's expiration date is no longer accurate, and that the product could become contaminated. Maintaining packaging standards is important as it can make consumers feel more assured that companies have followed regulatory guidance more closely, and ensured their products are properly manufactured and controlled - particularly when concerns about food recalls are high in the U.S. File photo: pickles in a jar. File photo: pickles in a To Know The recall was initiated by Gedney Foods Company on June 9, and the FDA released its classification on July 24. The recalled products include: Gedney Ghost Pepper LIL Pickles, sized Net 24 fl oz, item number 75802, UPC 0 41660-00758 9, Lot Code 4283 Gedney's Zinger Pickle products, with sizes of Net 24 fl oz: Zinger Chips, item number 18800, UPC 0 41660-00188 4 Zingers Dill Babies, item number 18600, UPC 0 41660-00186 0, Lot Codes 4218 and 4269 Gedney's Dill Pickle products, in various sizes between Net 16 fl oz and Net 32 fl oz, with the majority of products Net 32 fl oz: Gedney Whole Pickles, item number 15100, UPC 0 41660-00151 8 Gedney Mini Munchers Kosher Dill, item number 17100, UPC 0 41660-00171 6 Gedney Kosher Dill Babies, item number 17200, UPC 0 41660-00172 3 Gedney Dill Mini Munchers, item number 17300, UPC 0 41660-00173 0 Gedney Dill Babies, item number 18400, UPC 0 41660-00184 6 Gedney Dill Babies, item number 19100, UPC 0 41660-00191 4 Gedney Kosher Dill Babies, item number 19200, UPC 0 41660-00192 1 Gedney Dill Spears, item number 19600, UPC 0 41660- 00196 9 Production and expiration dates of the products were not listed on the FDA's recall notices. With 3,520 cases, and 12 jars per case, involved in each recall, there is a significant number of products involved - all of which were distributed to consumers in Minnesota. All products were manufactured in Mexico and distributed by Burnsville-based Gedney Foods Company. The recall remains ongoing as of July 25, 2025, and no termination date has been set. What People Are Saying The FDA said on its website: "Food manufacturers are responsible for marketing safe foods. Ingredients added directly to food and substances that come into contact with food are generally held to the same safety standard—there must be a reasonable certainty of no harm under the conditions of its intended use." What Happens Next The FDA recommends that consumers in Minnesota who purchased the recalled Gedney Food Company pickle products check lot numbers against the FDA database and immediately stop consuming these products if affected. Damaged packaging can increase contamination risk, and even foods that appear safe may pose health hazards. Consumers should follow store return instructions or dispose of the affected items.

Nationwide Ritz Cracker Recall Update as FDA Issues Risk Warning
A nationwide recall of Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches over possible undeclared allergens has received the second-highest risk warning by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On July 8, Mondelēz Global LLC announced a voluntary recall for various carton sizes of the products as they may have been mislabeled as a cheese variety instead of the peanut version. The FDA issued a Class II risk warning for the recall on July 22. Newsweek contacted Mondelēz Global LLC for comment by email outside regular working hours. A Class II risk classification refers to a situation in which the "use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," according to the FDA. The agency warned in its recall notice that people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts "may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product." Peanuts are one of the nine major food allergens identified by U.S. law. The others are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms, such as hives and lip swelling, to life-threatening complications, such as anaphylaxis, that may include fatal respiratory problems. The products affected by the recall include the following: Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches eight-pack, 37,985 cases—with the UPC 0 44000 88210 5 and best-by dates of November 1 to 9, 2025Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches 20-pack, 24,446 cases—with the UPC 0 44000 07584 2 and best-by dates of November 1 to 9, 2025, or January 2 to 22, 2026Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 224 cases—with the UPC 0 44000 07819 5 and best-by dates of November 1 to 9, 2025, or January 2 to 22, 2026Ritz Filled Cracker Sandwich 20-count variety pack, 13,872 cases—with the UPC 0 44000 08095 2 and best-by dates of November 2 to 9, 2025 The affected products contain individually wrapped packs that may have been mislabeled as the cheese variety instead of the peanut butter versions, according to the FDA. The incorrect labeling may appear as follows: Ritz Cheese Cracker Sandwiches, with the UPC 0 44000 00211 4 and best-by dates of November 1 to 9, 2025, or January 2 to 22, 2026. The FDA added that all the outer cartons were labeled correctly and indicated the presence of peanuts. The original recall said the affected products were produced in the U.S. and sold at retail stores nationwide. The company initiated the recall after it discovered that film packaging rolls used to wrap individual peanut butter products might "contain defects due to a supplier error." It added, "Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur." Mondelēz Global LLC said in the July 8 recall notice: "There have been no reports of injury or illness reported to Mondelēz Global LLC to date related to this product, and we are issuing this recall as a precaution." The Food and Drug Administration said on its website: "People with food allergies should read labels and avoid the foods they are allergic to. The law requires that food labels identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food." Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, the director of New York Allergy and Asthma PLLC, previously told Newsweek: "Every three minutes in the United States, someone ends up in an emergency room because of an allergic reaction after accidental ingestion of food. So even when we try hard, these reactions are happening. And if you look at the incidence of anaphylaxis, it has skyrocketed in the last five, 10, 20 years. And in the U.S., there's like a 300 to 400 percent increase in the rates of anaphylaxis to foods." The FDA lists the recall as ongoing. Consumers who purchased the affected products and have a peanut allergy should not consume them.
