Foreign Object Concerns

This recall notice has not identified the type of object found. However, the Class II designation suggests health impacts would likely be minor and temporary. Foreign objects in canned goods can include metal, plastic, or other materials introduced during processing. There are objects that can pose a risk of choking, dental injury, or gastrointestinal irritation if consumed.

If you experience any symptoms—such as mouth injury, discomfort, or digestive issues—after consuming the green beans, you should seek medical attention immediately. 

What To Do If You Have the Recalled Products at Home

Del Monte Foods and Target have not provided guidance on what to do if you have an affected can. However, the FDA typically recommends discarding the product and contacting the manufacturer or returning the product to the store for a refund.
