What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The issue is a labeling error regarding nutrition facts, not a safety hazard like contamination or allergens.
Plain-English summary
Meijer Distribution, Inc. is recalling Meijer Diced Pears in Fruit Juice 8oz cups. The recall involves 26,931 units of the product. The affected lots were produced between November 29, 2012, and January 2, 2013, and are identified by UPC 71373337044.
The recall was initiated because the product labels were developed with an updated serving size of 1 cup (226g), but the nutrition facts panel still reflects the information for a 4 oz (113g) serving. This discrepancy means the nutritional information provided to consumers does not match the actual serving size of the product.
