Recalled 15 oz. cans of S&W Organic Black Beans, O Organic Brand Black Beans, and O Organic Brand Chili Beans associated with potential contamination
Posted on May 5, 2021 in NewsroomHONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Health is advising consumers to dispose of or return
selected 15 ounce cans of S&W Organic Black Beans, 15 ounce cans of O Organic Brand Black
Beans and 15 ounce cans of O Organic Brand Chili Beans voluntarily recalled by Faribault
Foods, Inc. and shipped and sold in Hawai‘i at various stores. The products were voluntarily
recalled because the cans may have a compromised hermetic seal. The compromised hermetic
seal may affect can integrity and may cause the cans to leak, bloat or allow bacteria to grow
inside the product which could lead to serious illness.
Hawai‘i Department of Health inspectors are contacting retailers to alert them to remove the
product from their store shelves. The recalled products were distributed nationwide in retail
stores, including Hawai‘i stores and may have been purchased from February 2021 to present.
