ConAgra Extends P.F. Chang's Home Menu Products' Recall On Possible Metal Fragments Presence

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement on July 16, ConAgra Foods Inc (NYSE: CAG) is expanding a voluntary recall of P.F. Chang's Home Menu Brand products due to the potential presence of small metal fragments (2–9mm) in the sugar used in the sauce.

This voluntary action is being undertaken because of impacted sugar from a supplier. "An initial recall was issued on July 7, 2016 after a ConAgra employee observed metal fragments while dispensing sugar from a supplier for a P.F. Chang's Home Menu Brand sauce ingredient. On July 14, 2016, ConAgra Foods was notified by the supplier of additional production lots of sugar that were impacted, such that the initial recall needed to be expanded to include additional P.F. Chang's Home Menu Brand meals," wrote the FDA.
