Trader Joe’s has continued to face numerous recalls in recent weeks, and one of the latest was for a fully cooked falafel Heat & Eat sold at the store, which was found to potentially have rocks in it.

The falafel was recalled by the California Ranch Food Company, Inc. of Vernon, CA, and it was shared on the Food and Drug Administration’s website, noting that besides rocks, other foreign objects were also found inside the grocery item.

The products affected by the recall were distributed in at least 34 states and Washington, D.C., the company shared in its notice.

The ready-to-eat falafel was sold exclusively at Trader Joe’s, and those who purchased the product should immediately dispose of it and not consume it.
