The brand makes food for consumers with a certain dietary restriction, but warns this batch wouldn't be safe for anyone to eat. Here's why.
A Macaroni & Cheese Product Has Been Recalled from Some Grocers
Published on Feb. 07, 2025
It’s a weekend for menu decadence—and as one actress up-close-and-personal with football pointed out, Americans treat the Super Bowl like it’s the holidays.
But with the party buffet come dietary concerns on behalf of some guests. If you have mac and cheese on the menu, especially if you’re cooking for guests who eat gluten-free, you’ll want a heads-up on a recall that seemingly didn’t make headlines at the end of this week. And no, it’s not because of undeclared wheat.
We first noticed word of the recall via Wegman’s site, which dated their announcement Wednesday, February 5. Feel Good Foods, a certified gluten-free brand, has reportedly recalled Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites for what Wegmans refers to as “Possible presence of small pieces of metal.” Product details are listed as follow:
- Eight-ounce (8 oz.) packages
- UPC number: 8-99039-00280-8
- Lot Code: 24354AV1
- Best By Date: 6/19/26
Though it’s not clear to which retailers this specific lot was distributed, Feel Good Foods products are sold, many in the freezer section, at supermarkets nationwide, including but not limited to Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Amazon, and at regional grocery chains. Wegmans operates more than 100 locations in Northeast, Midatlantic, and Southern states.
The quantity of product does not appear to have been stated, but the Wegmans recall announcement states that “all product may be returned for a full refund.”
Contamination with foreign material has become a relatively common reason for food recalls to be initiated in the past year. Experts have said metal fragments are often a result of manufacturing equipment breaking off in the production process, though this could also be the result of aluminum foil or another exposure.
