about foreign object concerns

Foreign objects in canned goods can include metal, plastic or other materials introduced during processing, posing risks such as choking, dental injury or gastrointestinal irritation if consumed. While the recall notice did not specify the object type, the Class II designation suggests any health impact would likely be minor and temporary.
