Trader Joe’s has recalled its popular Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowl amid fears of plastic contamination.
The recall was made on February 14, with the grocer urging customers to throw away or return the boxes to a Trader Joe’s store for a full refund.
‘Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s store for a full refund,’ the grocery store chain said in a statement.
The recall did not include information detailing the lot numbers affected or specifying a range of dates when the affected products were produced or sold.
However, customers with questions about the recall were encouraged to call the company’s customer relations.
Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowl is a popular frozen item sold by the grocer at just $3.99.
The recall by the supermarket chain comes a year after it had to recall four products that may contain listeria – amid a nationwide outbreak linked to contaminated cheeses.
The grocer recalled its Chicken Enchiladas Verde, Cilantro Salad Dressing, Elote Chopped Salad Kit and Southwest Salad, which all contain cotija cheese.

The announcement was linked to an Food and Drug Administration recall of Rizo-Lopez Foods dairy items, including contaminated cheese, crema, and yogurt.
Meanwhile, a pre-packaged breakfast snack pack was recalled in 13 states, the FDA announced on Wednesday.
Naturipe Value Added Fresh voluntarily recalled its 2.1 ounce or 60 gram packages of ‘Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes’ because they contain wheat and eggs that were not mentioned on the label.
The FDA said the recall was initiated after the incorrect label was placed on the packages.
People with celiac disease or who have allergies to wheat or eggs, could experience life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
In all, 694 cases of the faulty bento box snack packs were distributed to Kroger and Meijer grocery stores in Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
