Nearly 23,000 pounds of Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler products are being recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with metal slivers, federal regulators said.
The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said the recalled products were sold in Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia, as well as through Department of War commissaries and online sales.
According to FSIS, the products may be contaminated with a foreign material, specifically metal slivers.
The recall was initiated after a customer found a piece of metal in one of the products.
“The problem was discovered after the establishment received a consumer complaint regarding a metal piece found in a fully cooked product,” FSIS said in its recall announcement.
No injuries have been confirmed, according to FSIS.
“Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider,” the agency said.
The recall affects products manufactured between July 1 and July 29, 2026.
The recalled products include 62.4-ounce bulk pans and 4.8-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop’s Baked Spaghetti, along with 48-ounce family-size pans and 11.6-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop’s Chicken Cobbler.
All affected products carry “best by” dates ranging from July 8 through Aug. 5.
Consumers who purchased the recalled products, including those stored in freezers, should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The recall comes after Rich Products Corp. recalled thousands of cases of its Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers in June because the frozen snacks may have contained metal pieces.
More than 160,000 pounds of the frozen snacks were recalled across 21 states, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
