The list of product recalls continues to pile up this summer from major food brands including Oscar Mayer, Ritz, Hormel and Topo Chico as well as from popular New Jersey stores Aldi and Costco.
Popular food recalls from major retailers that include bacon, beef stew and peanut butter crackers could lead to serious health issues, with products mislabeled, putting at risk those with peanut allergies, or causing potential illness, such as Listeria, which can be serious for newborns, pregnant women and the elderly.
Here’s what you need to know about the latest recalls across the U.S. and in New Jersey.
