Natural Grocers customers should check the pack-date code on 2-pound bags of the chain’s organic mung beans after a recall prompted by complaints about sharp glass fragments. The October 22 company notice covers UPC 000080112600 and five specific codes, with affected lots potentially shipped to stores in 22 states.
Three key points
- Recalled bags are 2-pound Natural Grocers organic mung beans, UPC 000080112600.
- Pack dates are 26-160, 26-173, 26-196, 26-224 and 26-258.
- The company says to stop using affected bags and discard them or return them for refund or credit.
The lower-left label code matters
Vitamin Cottage Natural Food Markets says the pack date is printed at the lower left of the label on clear plastic bags. Affected lots began shipping on June 10, 2026. The recall is tied to the listed codes, rather than all mung beans or every Natural Grocers product.
Potential destinations include stores in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
What the notice establishes
The company says it received customer complaints about glass fragments but had no reported illnesses or injuries as of the notice. It warns that swallowing glass can cause injury and directs customers to discontinue use immediately.
Questions can be directed to 303-226-1434, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Mountain time. FDA publishes this original company announcement; the photograph here shows generic mung beans, not an affected bag or visible contamination.
