1. October 2026: Al Fresco Sausage Recall

On October 16, 2026, Harris Teeter posted a recall covering nine Al Fresco sausage products. The supplier, Kayem Foods, said some fully cooked meat and poultry products stored and shipped between June 7 and October 14, 2026, were being recalled because a warehouse cooling-system malfunction may have allowed pathogen growth. Kayem said it was working with the USDA, and consumers were told not to eat the affected products.

Product	Package size	UPC
Al Fresco Pepper & Asiago Dinner Sausage	11 oz.	3077102630
Al Fresco Garlic Chicken Sausage	11 oz.	3077102632
Al Fresco Jalapeno Chicken Sausage	11 oz.	3077102635
Al Fresco Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage	11 oz.	3077102636
Al Fresco Sweet Apple Chicken	12 oz.	3077102637
Al Fresco Andouille Chicken Sausage	11 oz.	3077102638
Al Fresco Applewood Smoke Link	11 oz.	3077102641
Al Fresco Breakfast Links	7.5 oz.	3077102666
Al Fresco Breakfast Sausage Patty	7 oz.	3077109676

Why Were They Recalled?

Kayem said temperatures during the malfunction may have been high enough for pathogens to grow. The announcement reviewed did not name a specific organism. Food can carry harmful microbes without looking, smelling or tasting unusual, so appearance is not a safe test.

Does the Recall Cover Every Al Fresco Package?

No. Harris Teeter lists the nine UPCs above, while Kayem’s announcement points to a separate affected-SKU list with lot-code details that Harris Teeter’s page does not reproduce. Match the brand, description, UPC and lot code. If you cannot tell whether your package is included, do not eat it.

What Should Buyers Do?

Harris Teeter’s notice says not to eat the products and to return them for a full refund. Kayem’s announcement says to dispose of affected products and not eat them. Because the instructions differ, contact Harris Teeter or Kayem before carrying the product back to a store. Kayem lists 1-800-426-6100 and [email protected].

2. August 2026: Outshine Fruit Bars Recall

Harris Teeter lists an August 16, 2026, recall of Outshine fruit bars. Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream initiated it because of possible glass contamination.

Product	Package size	UPC
Outshine Strawberry Fruit Bars	6 count	4154861004
Outshine Watermelon Fruit Bars	6 count	4154841362
Outshine Grape Fruit Bars	6 count	4154824404
Outshine Black Cherry Fruit Bars	6 count	4154800012

Glass fragments can injure the mouth, teeth or digestive tract. Do not taste or break open a bar to check it. The notice does not say every bar contains glass, only that the listed products are subject to the recall. Customers should not eat them and may return them for a full refund. Dreyer’s can be reached at 800-392-4885, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.

3. May 2026: Second Nature Keto Crunch Smart Mix

On May 4, 2026, Harris Teeter posted a recall of Second Nature Keto Crunch Smart Mix, 10 oz., UPC 7703401340, after the manufacturer found undeclared cashews, pistachios and cherries.

People with cashew or pistachio allergies are at risk of reactions that can be severe or life-threatening. Cherries are also listed, and risk there depends on individual sensitivity. If the product matches and you have a relevant allergy, do not eat it. Return it for a full refund. Second Nature’s consumer affairs line is 1-800-651-7263, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central.

On April 29, 2026, Harris Teeter listed a recall of Zapp’s Big Cheezy Kettle Chips, 8 oz., UPC 8379119224, initiated by Utz over potential Salmonella contamination.

5. Are Older Harris Teeter Recalls Still Active?

Older notices may involve products still sitting in freezers or pantries. Examples listed on Harris Teeter’s page include:

Notice date	Product	Reported concern
November 11, 2025	ByHeart Whole Infant Formula, 24 oz., UPC 85004496800	Potential Clostridium botulinum contamination
October 2, 2025	Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi with Linguini Bowl, 9.6 oz., UPC 85817500391	Possible Listeria contamination

May 23, 2025	Harris Teeter store-made sushi	See the original notice for varieties and UPCs

The July 2025 Al Fresco recall (lot code 179, use or freeze-by date October 1, 2025) is separate from the October 2026 recall. Check exact lots and dates and do not treat the two as interchangeable. Infant formula recalls deserve extra care: check your product against the original notice and call your pediatrician if a baby consumed an affected product and shows symptoms.

What Health Risks Do These Recalls Involve?

• Undeclared allergens: Major allergens missing from a label can cause reactions from hives to anaphylaxis. Reactions can begin within minutes.
• Listeria monocytogenes: Causes listeriosis, which is especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck and confusion, and can appear days to weeks after exposure.
• Salmonella: Causes diarrhea, fever and cramps, usually starting six hours to six days after infection and lasting four to seven days. Young children, older adults and people with weak immune systems face higher risk.
• Foreign material (glass, plastic, metal): Can cause cuts, choking, dental damage or internal injury.
• Clostridium botulinum: Produces a toxin that can cause paralysis, a medical emergency, particularly dangerous for infants.

What Should You Do If You Bought Recalled Food?

1. Stop eating it. Do not taste-test, cook or reheat it as a substitute for the notice’s instructions.
2. Match the details. Check brand, exact name, size, UPC, lot code and date marks.
3. Keep it separate. Store it away from food people will eat, and do not open it unnecessarily.
4. Follow the notice. Return it for a refund or dispose of it as directed. Do not donate it, feed it to pets or give it away.
5. Clean up. Wash refrigerator shelves, countertops, cutting boards and utensils that touched it, and wash your hands thoroughly.

What If You Already Ate It?

Eating a recalled product does not mean you will get sick, but do not ignore symptoms.

• Possible Salmonella: Contact a health professional if diarrhea or vomiting lasts more than two days, stool is bloody, fever exceeds 102°F or you show signs of dehydration.
• Possible glass: Seek prompt medical care if you have pain, bleeding or trouble swallowing. Do not induce vomiting.
• Allergic reaction: If you have trouble breathing, throat or tongue swelling or collapse, call 911 and use prescribed epinephrine.
• Possible Al Fresco contamination: If you ate an affected product and feel ill, see a clinician and name the product and recall.

Keep the package or a photo of the label and note when you ate it.

What Laws Govern Food Recalls?

FDA Recalls

For most foods, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) makes it unlawful to sell adulterated or misbranded food (21 U.S.C. §§ 331, 342, 343). Most food recalls are voluntary, but the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) of 2011 gave the FDA authority to order mandatory recalls when there is a reasonable probability that food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death (21 U.S.C. § 350l). Companies must report such hazards through the Reportable Food Registry (21 U.S.C. § 350f). FDA recall rules appear in 21 C.F.R. Part 7, and recalls are classified by risk:

• Class I: reasonable probability of serious harm or death
• Class II: temporary or reversible health consequences, or a remote chance of serious harm
• Class III: unlikely to cause harm

USDA Recalls for Meat and Poultry

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service regulates meat and poultry under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. § 601 et seq.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. § 451 et seq.). FSIS recall procedures appear in 9 C.F.R. Part 418. Recalls are also classified by risk, and FSIS can publish alerts when product may still be in consumers’ homes.

Allergen Labeling

The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 requires major food allergens to be declared on packaged food labels. The FASTER Act of 2021 added sesame as the ninth major allergen. A product with an undeclared major allergen is considered misbranded (21 U.S.C. § 343(w)), which is why undeclared-allergen recalls are common.

Retailer Responsibilities

Retailers are expected to remove recalled products from shelves and notify customers where they can, and selling a product that is adulterated can create legal exposure. Harris Teeter uses its loyalty-card data and public notices to alert shoppers, but consumers should not wait for a notice before checking.

Your Legal Rights If You Were Harmed

A recall by itself does not give anyone a right to damages, but a person who is injured by contaminated or mislabeled food may have claims under state law, depending on the facts:

• Strict product liability: Many states hold sellers and manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by a defective or unreasonably dangerous product, without proof of negligence.
• Negligence: Failure to use reasonable care in production, storage or labeling.
• Breach of implied warranty of merchantability: Food must be fit for human consumption (UCC § 2-314, adopted in the states where Harris Teeter operates).
• Consumer-protection statutes: Some states allow refunds or damages for deceptive labeling.

Harris Teeter operates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Georgia, Florida and Washington, D.C. Each has its own deadlines, defenses and rules, and time limits can be short, often two to three years from injury or discovery. Keep the packaging, receipts, lot codes, medical records and any lab results, and contact a licensed product-liability attorney in your state if you suffered illness or injury. Refunds for recalled products are separate from any injury claim.

Where Can You Check the Latest Recalls?

• Harris Teeter’s official Product Recalls page: the starting point for products sold at its stores
• USDA FSIS Recalls and Public Health Alerts: for meat and poultry, including the Kayem recall
• FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals and Safety Alerts: for other foods
• FoodSafety.gov: federal recall and outbreak information

A retailer’s list and an agency’s list differ. A national recall may involve several retailers, while Harris Teeter’s page focuses on notices relevant to products sold through its stores.
