Seven brands of black beans recalled because of ink pen

Faribault Foods Inc. is recalling 15-ounce cans of black beans after a consumer found part of an ink pen in a can.

Seven brands are included, but only one production code is implicated in the recall of no-salt-added black beans, according to a recall notice posted on the Food and Drug Administration’s website.

The code on the recalled cans is “Best By 04 APR 2019 258F2 095 16 XXXX” and can be found on the bottom of the 15-ounce cans.

These are two of seven brands of 15-ounce cans of no-salt-added black beans that have been recalled.

Brands included in the recall are:

• Hyvee No-Salt-Added Black Beans
• La Preferida Low Sodium Black Beans (Frijoles Negros Bajo En Sodio)
• Our Family No-Salt-Added Black Beans
• Sprouts No-Salt-Added Black Beans
• Mrs. Grimes No-Salt-Added Black Beans
• Kuner’s No-Salt-Added Black Beans (Frijoles Negros)
• HEB Black No-Salt-Added Beans (Frijol Negro Sin Sal)

No other production codes, sizes or brands of Faribault Foods Inc. products are affected by this recall.

“This has been determined to be an isolated incident,” according to the recall notice. “We are recalling these products because they may contain small pieces of plastic and/or metal that may cause injury. Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe the source of the plastic and/or metal was an ink pen that entered the product stream.

“Consumers who may have purchased the products listed above should not consume them but should instead return them to the store where purchased for a refund or replacement.”
