A California-based food distributor has announced a recall of organic black bean products after discovering they contain pesticide residues.
Falcon Trading Company, Inc., headquartered in Royal Oaks, California, is pulling three specific organic black bean items from store shelves. Company officials say they’re recalling every lot number of these products because the beans are distributed in bulk containers where different production batches can become combined.
The recall affects all quantities of the three identified organic black bean varieties. Since retailers typically display these products in open bulk bins, customers may have purchased beans from mixed lots, prompting the company to take the broader precautionary step.
The Food and Drug Administration has been notified of the recall action. Consumers who have purchased organic black beans from Falcon Trading Company are advised to check their products and dispose of any items covered by this recall notice.
