Ukrop's Homestyle Foods is recalling nearly 23,000 pounds of baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler products over concerns they may contain metal slivers. Federal regulators said the action involves fully cooked items.
The recall was triggered after a consumer reported finding metal in one of the products. That complaint prompted a broader review and the decision to pull the affected food from distribution.
The issue centers on possible foreign material contamination, which can pose a safety risk if eaten. Recalls involving metal fragments are typically treated seriously because of the potential for injury.
Shoppers who have these Ukrop's products should check recall notices and product details carefully. The case adds to ongoing concerns about food safety controls and how quickly companies respond when contamination complaints surface.
