FOOD RECALL: Frozen Peas

Peas are one of the first vegetables introduced to babies, but apparently we need to keep an eye on some brands.
Pictsweet Company of Bells, Tenn., found glass fragments in some of its frozen green peas and related products, and it started a recall that affects two of the nation's largest grocers: Walmart, the world's largest retailer and grocer, and Kroger. While not a household name, Pictsweet calls itself "one of the largest frozen vegetable suppliers in the United States."
As for the frozen peas recall, Kroger stores in the U.S. Southeast are affected, while Walmarts nationwide are affected. Customers who bought the bad peas (which also came packaged with other vegetables) can get a refund from the place of purchase. For more information, call Pictsweet toll-free at 800-367-7412, ext. 417, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. CDT.
