Recall #F-1455-2013 · Initiated 2013-04-15

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Meijer brand canned fruit products have incorrect nutrition labels. The labels were updated to show a serving size of 1 cup, but the nutrition facts information still reflects the old 4 oz serving size, making the nutritional values appear different than they actually are.

Who is at risk

People who rely on nutrition labels for dietary decisions, such as those managing diabetes, allergies, or specific nutritional needs, may be most affected by the inaccurate information.

What to do

If you purchased these products at Meijer stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, or Ohio, you can either discard them or return them to the store for a refund. The actual product is safe to eat; only the label information is incorrect.
