Lansing, MI - (The following recall information is being shared by Michigan Dept. of Agriculture & Rural Development [MDARD] as a courtesy on behalf of Randall Foods, Inc.) Randall Foods, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio is recalling certain jarred beans under the “Hurst’s” Brand because of manufacturing deviations that may pose a potential health risk.

The recall includes the following products:

The product was co-packed and sold in 48oz glass jars with yellow labels with “Hurst's Brand” at the label top. Four hundred and thirty-seven (437) cases of affected product were shipped between November 7, 2019 and September 28, 2020 for distribution in the following states: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
