Over the past week, five significant food recalls have been announced, affecting various products and brands due to pathogen exposure, foreign object contamination, and undeclared allergens. Martinelli's apple juice was recalled across 28 states due to patulin contamination, while enoki mushrooms were pulled nationwide over Listeria concerns. Foreign objects were found in products from major retailers, with Costco salsa potentially containing wood pieces and Aldi's pork carnitas possibly contaminated with metal fragments. Additionally, Momo Tea Inc.'s non-dairy coffee creamer was recalled for containing an undeclared milk allergen, posing a risk to consumers with milk allergies. Consumers are advised to discard or return these affected products to avoid potential health risks.

Martinelli's apple juice, sold in 28 states, was recalled due to contamination with patulin, a harmful mycotoxin, leading the FDA to assign it the second-highest risk level. Affected bottles are 10 oz. with a best-by date of Dec. 5, 2026.

Costco's salsa, including several varieties sold at Northwest stores, was recalled due to potential contamination with small wood particles, with affected products having best-by dates ranging from Jan. 21 to May 23, 2025.

Momo Tea Inc. recalled its MO-CHA brand non-dairy coffee creamer because it contains an undeclared milk allergen, posing a risk to consumers with milk allergies, and this recall affects approximately 4,500 cases.

Aldi's pork carnitas were subject to a public health alert for possible metal contamination discovered during routine equipment checks, though no injuries have been reported, and consumers are urged to discard or return the product.

Enoki mushrooms distributed by Harvest NYC Inc. were recalled after testing positive for Listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious illness; no illnesses have been reported, but consumers should discard purchases made between Jan. 11 and Jan. 31, 2025.
