More than 2,000 cases of cooking oil have been recalled due to a packaging issue involving glass, sparking a nationwide warning, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Monday.
Primal Kitchen issued the recall of 2,060 cases of three code dates of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil because the glass may be prone to breakage. The affected products were sold in the eastern United States, California and online nationally.
While no consumer injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, consumers who purchased the items are advised to dispose of the product and contact Primal Kitchen.
Food recalls can encompass a range of issues, from bacterial contamination and undeclared allergens to foreign materials in the product or labeling errors.
According to the company announcement shared by the FDA, the voluntary recall comes after the company discovered the issue through monitoring of the Primal Kitchen warehouse and noticed that avocado oil had leaked in shipping containers.
“Primal Kitchen is committed to upholding the highest safety and quality standards,” the company said.
The affected product is isolated to a packaging issue for the 750mL Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil with an individual package UPC of 8-5523200719-4, case UPC of 108552320071910000 and a “Best When Used By” date of 19 Aug 2025 through 21 Aug 2025. Primal Kitchen said that no other sizes, formats or batches are affected.
While this is just the latest recall involving a packaging issue. Earlier this month, more than 700 units of a seasoning have been recalled in three states as they may contain a soy and wheat allergen due to labeling errors, sparking concerns of an allergic reaction.
