The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a nationwide recall of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, affecting more than 2,000 cases of cooking oil. The recall was initiated due to a packaging issue involving the potential breakage of the glass containers, posing a safety risk to consumers.

Primal Kitchen recalled 2,060 cases of its Avocado Oil distributed across the eastern United States, California, and online platforms nationwide. The affected product comes in 750-milliliter bottles with a UPC of 8-5523200719-4 for individual packages and a UPC of 108552320071910000 for cases.

While there have been no reported injuries or illnesses associated with the recalled products, consumers are advised to dispose of the affected items immediately. Primal Kitchen encourages consumers to contact them for further guidance on how to proceed with the recalled products.

This voluntary recall comes after Primal Kitchen discovered the packaging issue during routine monitoring of its warehouse. The company noticed that avocado oil had leaked from the containers in shipping, prompting them to take immediate action to ensure consumer safety.

Food recalls are not uncommon and can stem from various issues, including bacterial contamination, undeclared allergens, foreign materials in products, or labeling errors.
