What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

The recall involves 13,162 cases, with 12 bags per case, distributed across Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania.
