McCain Foods Recalls Smokehouse Roasted Diced Apples Due to Pathogen Testing Failures

McCain Foods USA is recalling Smokehouse Roasted Diced Apples because internal audits revealed products were released after presumptive positive tests for Listeria and Salmonella without confirmation.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella) where the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, meeting the criteria for a High severity score.
