California-based Del Monte Foods, Inc. has recalled 8,242 cases, or 197,808 cans, of its Target brand Good & Gather Cut Green Beans because they have the potential to be contaminated with a foreign object. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class II recall notice on March 13, 2025, though the firm initiated the voluntary recall on Feb. 12, 2025. The recall is marked “ongoing,” and no further information is currently available on what the foreign material may be.

A Class II recall (which is the second-most severe risk level) indicates “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

How to Identify the Recalled Green Beans 

The Good & Gather Cut Green Beans were sold at Target stores in 21 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The affected products can be identified by the following details listed on the labels:

  • Size: Net Wt. 14.5 oz (411g)
  • UPC: 0 85239-11628 9
  • Best if Used By: 28 OCT 2026
  • Lot: 7AA 418507
  • Dist. By: Target Corporation, Minneapolis, MN 55403

What to Do if You Have the Recalled Product

While the FDA, Del Monte, and Target have not provided instructions on how to proceed if customers have the recalled products, it is typically advised not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase.
