Grated Carrots Recalled Due to Pieces of Metal

What was recalled

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled certain grated carrots because they may contain pieces of metal. The recalling firm is J. G. Fruits & Légumes Inc. The agency published the notice on October 29, 2026, with a recall date of October 27, 2026, and identification number RA-82881. No brand name is listed for these products. The recall covers four product codes, all with a best before date of October 28, 2026.

How to check your carrots

Look for the product code, size, and UPC on the package, and match all of them against the list below. The affected products are: 7068 – Grated Carrots, 1 kg, UPC 00650746298553; 65163 – Grated Carrots, 5 x 1.82 kg, UPC 8926930012574; 65167 – Grated Carrots, 5 x 1.82 kg, UPC 10620868203022; and 65165 – Grated Carrots 1/16, 100 x 2.27 kg, with no UPC stated in the notice. If your package does not match one of these entries exactly, it is not part of this recall as described.

Where the notice stops short

The notice does not state a distribution list or a recall class in the published text, and it gives no illness information. Those details are not stated in the release, so this post does not fill them in. Readers who need them should check the original CFIA notice linked below.

What to do

Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected products. That is the instruction in the CFIA notice, stated plainly, and it covers every product code listed above. If you hold any of the affected grated carrots, set them aside and do not serve them.
