- The recalled products, produced between March 31 and October 7, 2026, were distributed nationwide under various brand names such as Kayem, Al Fresco, McKenzie, and others.
- The recall was initiated after a customer complaint about a warm product led to an investigation revealing temperature deviations in the warehouse cooler where the products were stored.
- Health officials warn consumers not to eat the recalled products or to return them to the place of purchase, although no illnesses have been reported so far.
- Detailed lists and photos of the affected products have been made available by the Food Safety and Inspection Service for consumer reference.
