Trader Joe's issues third product recall in a week, says falafel 'may contain rocks'

[Coventina]

For the third time in a week, a product at Trader Joe's is being recalled — this time it’s the Fully Cooked Falafel because it “may contain rocks."

Last Friday, the popular grocery store chain announced it was recalling two cookie products after it discovered they might also contain rocks. And on Thursday, it said its Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup is being recalled in seven states because the product "may contain insects.”

The recall of the Fully Cooked Falafel affects the product in at least 33 states, the company announced Friday.

All the potentially affected product have been removed from stores or destroyed, Trader Joe’s said.

“If you purchased or received any donations of Fully Cooked Falafel, please do not eat them. We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund,” the announcement said.

The recall of broccoli cheddar soup affects the 20-ounce product in Florida, Illinois, California, Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the FDA said. There are 10,889 affected cases in all, the FDA said.

10. It's definitely starting to look like inside sabotage.

Once is understandable (stuff happens).

Twice is coincidence.

Three times is a pattern!!

And we now have far more than three products involved.

11. So buy the box of falafel mix, not the fully cooked.

It really is the BEST falafel mix. Delicious. Love it.
