While canned green beans are great to have on hand for various meals, check the label before consuming any stored in your pantry. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of 197,808 cans of green beans sold at Target because they may be contaminated with a foreign object.

On February 12, California-based Del Monte Foods, Inc. voluntarily recalled its Good & Gather Cut Green Beans. The product was sold in 14.5-ounce cans and has a UPC of 0 85239-11628 9, best-if-used-by date of 28 OCT 2026, and lot code of 7AA 418507.

The FDA classified the recall as a Class II threat on March 13, meaning it’s “a situation in which 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.”

The Good & Gather Cut Green Beans were sold at Target locations in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Currently, there is no information available on what the foreign material may be. Consumers who have consumed the recalled product and are concerned about adverse health effects should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
