Ukrop's Baked Spaghetti and Chicken Cobbler Recall Over Metal Contamination Federal regulators have issued a recall of nearly 23,000 pounds of Ukrop's Homestyle Foods baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler products due to concerns about metal slivers in the items. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed the recall, citing potential contamination with foreign materials, specifically metal fragments. The affected products were sold in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, and through Department of War commissaries and online platforms. The recall was triggered after a customer reported finding a piece of metal in one of the products. FSIS stated that no injuries have been confirmed as a result of the incident, but the agency urged consumers to contact healthcare providers if they suspect harm. The affected items include Ukrop's Baked Spaghetti and Chicken Cobbler, with specific details about the product packaging and "best by" dates provided. The recall covers products manufactured between July 1 and July 29, 2026. This includes 62.4-ounce bulk pans and 4.8-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop's Baked Spaghetti, as well as 48-ounce family-size pans and 11.6-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop's Chicken Cobbler. All affected products have "best by" dates ranging from July 8 through August 5. Consumers are advised to discard or return the recalled items to the place of purchase for a full refund. The incident follows a similar recall by Rich Products Corp. in June, which involved thousands of cases of its Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers due to potential metal contamination. Over 160,000 pounds of the frozen snacks were recalled across 21 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.#us_food_and_drug_administration #ukrop_s_homestyle_foods #us_department_of_agriculture #fsis #rich_products_corp
