Ocean Spray recalls more dried cranberries for metal fibers
Dec 7, 2011 12:15 PM

Ocean Spray has expanded last month's recall of Craisins dried cranberry products, said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today. An additional five lots of the packaged food were found to have also been contaminated with tiny metal fibers.

According to the FDA, the five lots of Original Flavor Craisins Dried Cranberries were distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington. They can be identified by the following information:

Craisin package size/UPC code Best By dates
5 ounce
UPC: 00293-000
Oct 28 2012 M
10 ounce
UPC: 29456-000 and 29464-000
Oct 30 2012 M
48 ounce
UPC: 00678-318
Oct 29 2012 M
Nov 8 2012 M
Nov 12 2012 M

As with the previously announced Craisin recall, there have been no reports of illness from consumers eating the recalled dried cranberries. And while injuries from such fine fibers "are unlikely," this expanded recall is being made "out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our consumers," said Ocean Spray.

Consumers with packages of the dried cranberries further identified by this recall are urged to discard the product, but save the UPC and Best By Date labels which can be used to obtain a free replacement coupon. Customers can call the toll-free Ocean Spray Consumer Hotline (800-662-3263) for additional details.
