Why did baked beans get recalled in Florida, North Carolina and 21 other states?
Baked beans sold under the Yellowstone brand — yes, same as the TV show — have been recalled in 23 states.
In recalling 4,515 cases of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans in 15-ounce cans, Vietti Food Group admitted the label didn’t include soy, which is an allergen. That’s a serious error to anyone with a soy allergy or who might be serving these beans to someone with a soy allergy.
“Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product,” the Vietti-written, FDA-posted recall notice states.
The recall covers cans in the lot with “Best If Used By Feb. 17, 2028” on the bottom. They went to stores in Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.
If you have these baked beans and there’s no chance someone with a soy allergy will eat them, carry on as usual. If there’s any chance someone with a soy allergy will come in contact with them, return them to the store for a refund.
If you have questions about this recall, call Vietti Food Group at 513-682-2474 Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT, or email recall@zwanfood.com.
