TEKONSHA, MI & CINCINNATI, OH (WTVB/WNWN) – Randall Foods is issuing a voluntary recall of all its bean products due to what the company calls “manufacturing deviations that may pose a potential health risk”.
Over 1.6 million cases of affected products were processed at its facility in Tekonsha between March 1, 2019 and May 15, 2021 and sold in 22 states. They include Great Northern, pinto, kidney, navy, black, and garbanzo beans, along with mixed beans and organic Great Northern beans in 15.4 ounce, 24 ounce, and 48 ounce jars.

A malfunctioning temperature sensor at the plant indicated that the product may not have been processed properly, which could lead to food-borne illness or premature spoilage. Thus far, no illnesses have been reported.
Consumers are asked to return the jars to the place of purchase for a full refund, regardless of the “Best By” date.
More information on the recall can be found at the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Affairs website.
