Walmart has recalled 30+ products past 2 months, including food (list)

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — As the nation’s largest retailer, Walmart may be the most recognizable there is for U.S. consumers.

The company has more than 4,600 stores and another 600 Sam Club locations in the United States, and a presence in every state. There are more than 5,400 Walmart international locations.

But because of that size, it’s not unexpected that Walmart shoppers may find they are touched by a product recall.

In just the last two months, the company announced more than 30 products – foods, pharmaceuticals and commercial goods — that were sold in its stores and online that are subject to recalls and alerts.

It’s something that Walmart acknowledges and embraces.

“Walmart and Sam’s Club are committed to the health and safety of our customers and members and to providing products that are safe and compliant, all supported by our health and wellness, product safety, and food safety professionals,” Walmart said in an online statement. “In the event of a product recall, we work swiftly to block the item from being sold and remove it from our stores and clubs.”

Here’s a look at some of the customer alerts, notices and recalls announced since Dec. 1. Earlier notices can be found on the company’s website.
