Third-party manufacturer Georgia Nut Company for Tru Fru LLC is issuing a recall for specific varieties of its Tru Fru Freeze Dried products after metal was found inside.

Hard or sharp foreign objects could cause traumatic injury including laceration and perforation of tissues of the mouth, tongue, throat, stomach and intestine as well as damage to the teeth and gums. There have been no reports of injury or illness so far.

The snacks were distributed to Albertson’s, CVS, Food Lion, H-E-B, Hungryroot, Ingles Markets, Kroger, Stew Leonard’s, and Target across the United States.

A 10-digit manufacturing code can be found on the back. The first four digits or letters in the code will indicate potentially contaminated products. Affected flavors include Strawberries in Dark & White Chocolate and Strawberries & Crème in 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz, and 13 oz. The table of manufacturing codes is available on the FDA recall page.
