Almond harvesting rocks can infiltrate into packed meals, forcing recalls.
Almonds are mechanically plucked and collected from trees. They can be gathered along with pebbles, sticks, and other debris.
If foreign materials are not taken away, they may wind up in packaged products. Both recalled items contain almonds, but Trader Joe's has not stated why.
The small rocks in these products will most likely pass through your system unnoticed.
If you are experiencing pain or difficulty swallowing, the item may be obstructing your digestive tract. Consult a doctor if you have any health concerns.
