Product recalls: Ocean Spray Original Flavor Craisins Dried Cranberries
Several recalls were issued over the Thanksgiving holiday. Perhaps, most notable on the list was Ocean Spray’s recall of its dried cranberries. The FDA’s notice stated that Ocean Spray announced it has taken the precautionary measure of voluntarily recalling certain production lots of its Original Flavor Craisins® Dried Cranberries product in 5-ounce, 10-ounce and 48-ounce packages as well as bulk sweetened dried cranberries in 10-pound packages due to the possible presence of very small hair-like metal fragments that are unlikely to cause consumer injury.
