Thousands of Walmart brand Great Value fruit cocktail cans recalled.

Thousands of Walmart brand Great Value fruit cocktail cans recalled. Fernando Cervantes Jr., USA TODAY Updated Thu, October 22, 2026 at 12:29 PM PDT A possible lead contamination is being cited for the recall of thousands of cans of Great Value fruit cocktail in fruit juice sold in Walmart stores, according to a recall notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. According to the FDA, the ongoing recall is being classified as a Class II, which means the consumption or exposure to the affected fruit cocktail could "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." The FDA said that more than 44,000 cans of Great Value Fruit Cocktail in Fruit Juice from Concentrate are affected, as they could have been contaminated with elevated levels of lead. The cans were produced by California-based Pacific Coast Producers, which initiated the recall. Walmart and Pacific Coast Producers did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment. Here's what to know. What Great Value fruit cocktail cans are recalled? The FDA said the affected cans are 15-ounces with a lot code of 6FCB 04 C2263 and a "best if used by" date of "SEP 01 2027" printed on them. Where were the Great Value fruit cocktail cans sold? According to the notice, the cans were distributed to Walmart stores in Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wyoming. Recalls after recalls. The ongoing fruit cocktail recall comes only weeks after frozen berries sold at Trader Joe's and Walmart were recalled due to an ongoing multistate E. coli outbreak. Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. first initiated a recall for GreenWise-brand frozen organic blueberries on July 3, which later expanded on July 29 to include GreenWise frozen mixed berries, all sold at Publix. On Sept. 2, the recall expanded to include a frozen berry product sold at Walmart. It was again expanded on Oct. 2 to include more products sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's.

The other two new locations announced will be in Florida and Arizona. Its two newest Washington State locations will be in Seattle (401 NE Northgate Way) and Spokane Valley (13414 East Sprague Avenue), but still no plans for Tri-Cities - ugh! Here is the list of future Trader Joe's locations that are set and will open in the future: * Arizona: Phoenix (21001 North Tatum Boulevard, Suite 1030) * California: Anaheim Hills (6336 East Santa Ana Canyon Road), Leucadia (1590 Leucadia Boulevard), Riverbank (2135 Claribel Road), San Diego (3962 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard) * Colorado: Denver (8564 East Northfield Boulevard) * Florida: Orlando (1444 North Alafaya Trail) and Sarasota (8199 S Tamiami Trail Unit 100) * Illinois: Oswego (1930 US-34), Chicago (804 West Montrose Avenue and 6191 N.

Always the bridesmaid but never the bride. I get the feeling that Trader Joe's is missing the boat here in the Tri-Cities. Let's hope they announce some more new locations in the future. 5 of the friendliest places to live in Washington State. Here are my picks for the most-friendliest places to visit in Washington State - see if you have been to any of these places below Gallery Credit: Rik Mikals Why does Leavenworth make its lists all the time? It's because of its Bavarian-looking buildings that puts you right in the Swiss Alps and the people there are the nicest that you'll find in Washington State. rik/canva/city of ellensburg One of the coolest places in Washington State is Ellensburg. It's a small college town and right smack in the middle of the state. If you've been there, you know how friendly the folks are in Ellensburg. If you are looking for the perfect getaway, Walla Walla Wine Country awaits you and yes the friendliest people as well. My wife and I spent its anniversary there a few years and it was an amazing experience. To be number two on its list, you've got to be in a special place. Port Townsend looks like it stepped out of a Hallmark movie and the people there are just as friendly as you'd find anywhere else in Washington State. rik/canva/megan mikals My #1 selection for the friendliest town in Washington is near and dear to me. I grew up at the bottom of the Rattlesnake Grade so you had to pass through Anatone to get there. Mayberry might as well be Anatone. It's small population is one of the friendliest you'll find in the Evergreen State.
