Some of your favorite drinks that you enjoyed growing up are being recalled right before Thanksgiving. Select Country Time Lemonade, Kool-Aid, Tang and Arizona Tea powdered drink mixes have been recalled due to the possible presence of very small pieces of metal or glass.
The third-largest food and beverage company in North America, Kraft Heinz, is voluntarily recalling the products because the foreign material may have been introduced to the product during production.
Earlier this month, Costco posted a recall announcement on it’s website regarding Kool-Aid Tropical Punch Mix sold in its warehouses. Now, we’re learning of additional impacted items sold at other top supermarkets like Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club and other stores.
There are multiple products and package sizes included in the recall. See the list of specific products and sizes at FDA.gov.
