Craisin recall affects certain dates

Ocean Spray announced Nov. 28 it has taken the precautionary measure of voluntarily recalling certain production lots of its Original Flavor Craisins Dried Cranberries product in 5-ounce, 10-ounce and 48-ounce packages due to the possible presence of very small hair-like metal fragments.

No reports of fragments in finished goods have been received and no injuries or adverse effects have been reported regarding these products to date.

Ocean Spray issued the voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our consumers.

This is a very small recall. The sweetened dried cranberries associated with the recall represent less than ¼ of 1 percent of the total pounds the company produces annually.

No other Ocean Spray brand products are affected.
