Trader Joe’s recalls this product for potential marker plastics
Trader Joe’s has recalled more than 60,000 pounds of its steamed chicken soup dumplings over concerns it could contain plastic from a permanent marker, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Saturday.
Products with the “best by” date of March 7, 2025, and lot codes C1-1 or C1-2 may be impacted, according to a statement by the company. Those who have received those products should discard them or return them to Trader Joe’s for a full refund.
No injuries or otherwise negative reactions have been reported.
“We have a close relationship with our vendors,” Trader Joe’s said on its website. “We err on the side of caution and are proactive in addressing issues. We voluntarily take action quickly, aggressively investigating potential problems and removing the product from sale if there is any doubt about its safety or quality.”
The impacted products were manufactured in December 2023 by CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corporation, based in California.
It’s at least the sixth product that Trader Joe’s has recalled this year.
In February, Trader Joe’s recalled four products for potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination and another product for possible foreign material.
