Plain-English summary
Spartan Central Kitchen is voluntarily recalling #048 Mixed Fruit Tray (20 ounces) and #049 Mixed Fruit Tray (42 ounces). The recall affects products manufactured between August 20, 2012, and September 10, 2012. The specific units involved are identified by sell-by dates on or before September 15, 2012, and UPC codes 0-11213-90393 and 0-11213-90394.

The affected products were distributed only in Michigan and Ohio. Consumers who have these specific fruit trays in their possession should check the sell-by dates and UPC codes to determine if they are part of the recall. If the products match the description, consumers should stop using them and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm or the FDA regarding disposal or return.
