【Epoch Times April 10, 2026 report】(Epoch Times reporter Lü Shiyu reports from New York) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that it has initiated a recall procedure due to the discovery of metal fragments in several over-the-counter bread products, including a popular Focaccia Bread from the Trader Joe’s chain. The recalled products primarily include Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia, which is packaged in 14-ounce packs and sold in most Trader Joe’s stores across the United States. According to information released by the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the issue stems from the discovery of metal fragments in the products. The company's investigation suggests that the contamination may have originated from the roasted tomato ingredients supplied by a vendor. The affected recall products have expiration dates ranging from July 26, 2026, to October 15, 2026. In addition to the Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia, the recall also involves a series of products from the same brand, including Frederik’s by Meijer Slow-Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia, Fresh & Simple Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia, and HT Traders Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia. The expiration dates for these products range from April 27, 2026, to August 3, 2026. Officials stated that the related products had been sold in at least 10 states, including California, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. The recall involves approximately 23,459 boxes of bread products in total. Regulatory authorities urge consumers who have purchased the affected products to immediately discard them or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
