Tastykake Jelly Krimpets recalled for potential metal fragments

Flowers Foods is recalling Tastykake Jelly Krimpets due to potential small metal fragments in an ingredient, as reported by a supplier. The recall affects 12oz and 3oz packages distributed across 37 US states.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a physical contamination hazard (metal fragments) in a food product. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported illness are typically scored at 3, as the risk of harm exists even though no injury has yet been reported.
