Goya and Jibarito Pink Beans Recalled for Can Seam Defect

Tradewind Foods is recalling Goya and Jibarito Pink Beans due to a possible can seam defect that may compromise product integrity.

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 II, which typically involves a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a structural defect (can seam) rather than a confirmed biological or chemical contamination, and no illnesses are reported in the source text.
