4 Food Recalls This Week—Amazon Fresh, Hummus & More

Food recalls aren’t always breaking news, but they’re always worth paying attention to. Some products are classified as high-risk weeks after being pulled, while others may still be sitting in household pantries and refrigerators. This week’s roundup includes newly announced recalls and updated FDA classifications—here’s what’s affected and why it matters.

Food recalls happen all the time, but how often do we really check our pantries and fridges? This week, five notable recalls could affect shoppers nationwide—here’s what’s been pulled and why it matters.

Recall on Amazon Fresh Baked Goods Due to Undeclared Egg

If you’ve purchased baked goods from Amazon Fresh, take a moment to check your kitchen. The retailer has expanded its Class I recall, the FDA’s most serious classification, to include not just Jumbo Sugar Cookies but also Bake-at-Home Cookie Dough due to undeclared egg. The affected products were sold both in stores and online, making it a widespread recall with potential for serious allergic reactions in those with egg allergies.

What to do: If you have any Amazon Fresh baked cookies or cookie dough, don’t take chances—return them for a refund or dispose of them safely. Even if the expiration date has passed, it’s worth spreading the word since not all recalled products are pulled from circulation immediately. Even if the expiration date has passed, it’s still crucial to spread the word—food recalls don’t always mean immediate removal from circulation.

Recall on King Harvest Hummus Due to Plastic Contamination

A recall on hummus has been issued for King Harvest products after reports of plastic fragments in some containers. Pacific Coast Fresh Co. is recalling 13 varieties, including Classic, Roasted Garlic, and Chipotle, which were sold in 10-ounce plastic tubs with expiration dates ranging from February 2 to March 2, 2025. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, meaning the risk is lower but still a concern.

What to do: Check your fridge—hummus can last longer than you think. If you have a recalled container, don’t eat it. You can return it to the store or safely dispose of it.

Recall on Joy Luck Brand Dried Lily Flowers for Undeclared Sulfites

Check your pantry, because a recall on dried lily flowers has been issued for Joy Luck Brand Dried Lily Flowers, a pantry staple in many Chinese kitchens. The recall stems from undeclared sulfites, which can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. While no illnesses have been reported, this recall highlights the importance of checking pantry staples for hidden allergens.

What to do: If you have sulfite allergies, do not consume this product. Check your pantry—dried goods can sit on shelves for months unnoticed. Dispose of it or return it for a refund.

Recall on Bread Due to Undeclared Milk

If you live in Hawaii, this recall on bread may impact you. Jesse’s Bakery Inc.’s Pan de Sal and Pan de Coco, a brand of Filipino bread rolls. The recall was issued due to undeclared milk, which could pose a serious risk for those with dairy allergies. The recall applies to multiple lot numbers, so even if you bought these rolls weeks ago, it’s worth checking.

What to do: If you have a milk allergy, don’t eat these breads if you bought them. If you purchased them recently, contact the retailer for details on refunds.

Why Food Recalls Matter—Even After the Expiration Date

Think recalls don’t matter if the expiration date has passed? Not always. Some products stick around in homes long after they’re pulled from shelves. Food safety isn’t just about what’s fresh—it’s about understanding how food moves through the supply chain and what risks linger even after the recall is issued. Whether it’s allergen mislabeling, contamination, or foreign objects, staying informed helps consumers make smarter, safer decisions in the grocery aisle.

Food recalls happen all the time—some barely make headlines. Keep up with the latest updates, so you’re not caught off guard.
