United Sugar Producers and Refiners has voluntarily recalled certain Light Brown Sugar products after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recorded potential wheat-kernel contamination. The FDA lists the recall as ongoing and classifies it as Class II. The affected products were distributed in eight states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
What Products Are Affected
The recall covers two Light Brown Sugar configurations. The first is United brand Light Brown Sugar in a 50-pound (22.68 kg) package, item number 810051, distributed by United Sugar Producers & Refiners of Minneapolis. The second is Good & Gather Light Brown Sugar in a 2-pound (32-ounce/907 g) package, item number 817773, distributed by Target Corp. The Good & Gather product UPC is 0 85239-08454 0.
Consumers should check for batch numbers MHD26223, MHD26224, MHD26225, MHD26226, MHD26227, MHD26228 and MHD26229. The FDA record lists 12,678 hundredweight in total. It does not give retail purchase dates, best-by dates, a product image or store-by-store distribution details.
Why Was This Recalled
The official FDA record gives the reason as potential wheat-kernel contamination. It does not say how the material entered the product, identify a testing result, or report illnesses, injuries, hospitalizations or deaths. It also does not state whether the issue involved an allergen declaration. Consumers should not assume details that are absent from the official notice.
FDA assigned the event a Class II classification. That category is used for a situation in which exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. It differs from the Cabricharme cheese recall involving an undeclared allergen and the bettergoods fettuccine recall over Listeria concerns, which concerned different hazards.
What You Should Do
If you have one of the listed United or Good & Gather products, check the package size, item number, UPC where applicable, and batch number. Set aside a matching package rather than using it while seeking guidance from the retailer where it was bought. Keep the packaging available. The FDA record does not list a consumer phone number, a refund process, disposal instructions, or a retailer contact, so consumers should avoid relying on unofficial information.
The official FDA enforcement record is the source for updates. Anyone who believes they have become ill after consuming a food product should seek appropriate medical advice and can use the FDA’s official food-problem reporting channels.
