An urgent recall A notice has been released regarding canned beans available for sale. Walmart And other grocery stores out of concerns that they may cause a severe health hazard.

The FDA is recalling 4,510 instances of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans distributed throughout 23 states due to the absence of declared soy ingredients.

Approximately 1.9 million individuals in the U.S. have a soy allergy, which could lead to anaphylaxis—a severe and potentially fatal allergic response causing breathing difficulties—if they consume this ingredient.

So far, no health issues or side effects have been reported; however, the FDA is advising consumers to discard the beans or exchange them at retail outlets for a complete reimbursement.

The beans come in 15-ounce cans marked with a best-by date of February 17, 2028, and they were produced by the Vietnam-based Vietti Food Group located in Tennessee.

The can has a black label with a large, yellow 'Y' on the front, as well a a picture of beans cooking in a saucepan.

A representative for the brand said the affected beans were sold in Walmart, Associated Wholesale Grocers, Hy-Vee and Meijer, among others.

The FDA said in its alert: 'Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.'

The recall was called in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

It was not clear exactly how many cans of beans were being recalled or how the soy had entered the baked beans.

But it is likely that the soy was contained in the sauce, where it is used to tone down the sweetness and add depth to the flavor.

The food staff at that time failed to mention the sauce's inclusion on the labeling, resulting in a recall.

Soy originates from soybeans and is frequently included in various food items. Among nine primary allergens, it stands out along with milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and sesame.

It poses no risks to someone who does not have a soy allergy.

But for patients with this, they can quickly experience a tingling sensation in the mouth and swelling of the lips and face after consuming soy.

Specialists mention that these reactions may include outbreaks of hives, itching, or eczema, along with experiencing abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea.

This follows a recall in March for approximately 200,000 cans of widely-sold vegetables at Target due to concerns about contamination with foreign objects.

The Good & Gather Cut Green Beans — which are distributed by Target — have been recalled across approximately two dozen states, including Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Texas.

On February 12, 197,808 cans were recalled. On March 13, this recall was classified at the second highest risk level, known as a 'Class II' designation.
