What happened
Preferred Popcorn is recalling organic popcorn products sold under multiple brand names because small pieces of tempered glass (about the size of a grain of rice) may be mixed in with the popcorn. This is a precautionary recall to prevent potential injury from consuming the product.
Who is at risk
Anyone who purchased these popcorn products and consumed them could be at risk of mouth or tooth injury if glass fragments are present.
What to do
Check if you have any of the recalled popcorn products listed (sold at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and other stores in multiple states). If you do, stop eating it and either discard it or return it to the store for a refund. Contact Preferred Popcorn at the number on the package if you have questions.
