Canned Fruit Recall At Wegmans Raises Health Alarms For Parents

Wegmans has issued a recall of canned fruit sold at its stores in New York. The fruit products pose a potential health threat to New Yorkers. It appears that food recalls are on the rise, which is not good news for New Yorkers. Sedgewick says that 2025 has seen an increase in recalls so far.

"While the number of products recalled across all sectors surged 25% to 125.37 million, this was driven by increases in just two industries: pharmaceutical and food and drink under the FDA’s purview. Notably, the number of food items recalled by the FDA increased 232% in Q1, marking the second highest volume recorded in the past two years. In contrast, there were just 3.73 million vehicles recalled during Q1 2025, the lowest quarterly total for the automotive industry since Q2 2012."
