Target has set off alarm bells after recalling five foods sold in states across the country, based on a decision by the FDA. This is a strategy that seeks to ensure the safety of its customers and prevent these products from continuing to be marketed. What are the foods in question? We will now share with you the complete list.
The large supermarket chain has made public its decision through an official statement.

For this reason, we maintain a complete list of our products withdrawn from the market”, he assured.
Lay’s Classic Potato Chips

For its part, Frito-Lay announced that these products would no longer be marketed on December 16 in an official statement. “Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk are at risk of suffering a severe or life-threateningallergic reaction if they consume this product,” it said.
In an interview with Newsweek, a company representative said it was recalling a limited number of 13-ounce bags of the potatoes. They may contain undeclared milk. However, he clarified that only the classic Lays will be recalled and no other flavors or sizes of the brand.
MadeGood granola bars
Some MadeGood granola bars, distributed in the United States and Canada, were recalled from Target stores on December 9. This is due to a possible presence of a piece of metal in the product that, if consumed, can pose a serious health risk to people.
