Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the Lot Code?
The Lot Code is typically printed on the back of the package near the seal, in a format like 8005538-1.
Why do I need to enter the Best By date?
The FDA recall specifically identifies products with a Best By date of 3/15/2027. This date is pre-filled for your convenience and will be updated if the recall information changes.
Can I just scan the barcode?
No. The standard UPC barcode only identifies the product type, not the specific batch or expiration date. You must check the Lot Code and Best By date to determine if your product is affected.
What should I do if my product is affected?
If your product is affected: DO NOT consume it. You should either discard the product immediately or return it to your place of purchase with the original packaging for a refund.
