Frozen Breakfast Muffins Recalled for Chemical Contamination in Water

Correctional Industries Food Factory is recalling frozen breakfast muffins made with water contaminated with PFOA and PFOS chemicals exceeding EPA health advisory levels.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The hazard involves chemical contamination exceeding advisory levels, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Correctional Industries Food Factory is recalling Item 10554 Breakfast Muffins, frozen, 50-count cases. The product was manufactured between April 1, 2017, and May 15, 2017, and distributed in Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. The total quantity involved is 11,989 lbs.

The recall was initiated because the product was made with water contaminated with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The observed levels of these chemicals exceed the EPA's 2016 combined Lifetime Health Advisory levels for drinking water, which is set at 70 parts per trillion.

Consumers who have purchased these muffins should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for further instructions. The product does not have specific lot codes or expiration dates, so consumers should check the manufacturing dates to identify affected items.
