FARIBAULT, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Faribault Foods, Inc. is initiating a voluntary recall of a limited
number of 15 ounce No-Salt-Added Black Beans due to the potential
presence of plastic and/or metal pieces within the product. This
voluntary recall covers one specific production code and was distributed
under the following labels:

Hyvee No-Salt-Added Black Beans

La Preferida Low Sodium Black Beans (Frijoles Negros Bajo En Sodio)

Our Family No-Salt-Added Black Beans

Sprouts No-Salt-Added Black Beans

Mrs. Grimes No-Salt-Added Black Beans

Kuner’s No-Salt-Added Black Beans (Frijoles Negros)

The voluntary recall is limited to the production code of 15 ounce
product manufactured at the facility located in Faribault, MN with can
code “Best By 04 APR 2019 258F2 095 16 XXXX.” To locate the production
code, consumers should look at the bottom of the can. No other
production codes, sizes or brands of Faribault Foods, Inc. products are
affected by this recall.

No injuries have been reported. This has been determined to be an
isolated incident. We are recalling these products because they may
contain small pieces of plastic and/or metal that may cause injury.
Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe the source of the
plastic and/or metal was an ink pen that entered the product stream.
Faribault Foods, Inc. is taking this action out of an abundance of
caution after one consumer reported finding a partial ink pen in one
container.

Consumers who may have purchased the products listed above should not
consume them but should instead return them to the store where purchased
for a refund or replacement.

The quality and safety of our products are the top priority for our
company. We apologize to our retail customers and consumers and
sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this recall. We are
working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on this voluntary
recall and will cooperate with them fully.
