The reporting question: Which Brad’s kale-chip bags are recalled, and what should an owner do?
Start with product and UPC
The notice names 2-ounce Crunchy Kale Original, Cheeze It Up and Radical Ranch, plus 3-ounce Veggie Chips Kale. Check the exact UPC and lot in the FDA notice. The chart counts listed product-lot combinations, not contaminated bags or a person’s risk. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Original has five listed entries
For Original, look for 33525-1, 33525-2, 33525-3, 34525-1 or 35125-2. Cheeze It Up lists 35025-3; Radical Ranch lists 29425-1. The official notice pairs those codes with Best By dates. [2] [3] [4]
The 3-ounce product has four
Veggie Chips Kale lists 33225-3, 33325-2, 33425-1 and 33525-1. The repeated 33525-1 code under two different products is why the chart counts combinations rather than unique codes. [5] [2]
Discard; do not return
The company says to stop eating recalled bags, discard them and not return them; it says no refunds are offered. Anyone concerned about adverse health effects should contact a health-care provider, as the notice advises. FDA is hosting the issuer’s announcement; this newsroom has not tested a bag. [6] [7] [1]
