Meijer Distribution, Inc

Recall #F-1456-2013 · Initiated 2013-04-15

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Meijer's canned fruit cups have incorrect nutrition labels. The labels say the serving size is 1 cup, but the nutrition information listed is actually for a smaller 4 oz portion, which means the nutritional values shown are only half of what you'd actually get from eating the full cup.

Who is at risk

People with allergies, diabetes, or those monitoring their diet for health reasons should be aware, as they may have made food choices based on inaccurate nutrition information.

What to do

If you purchased these products from Meijer stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, or Ohio, you can return them for a refund. The fruits themselves are safe to eat, but if you need accurate nutrition information for health reasons, contact Meijer or the FDA for guidance.
