The agency also included a PDF with images of the affected products.
“The problem was discovered when FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination of these products,” the USDA news release said.
“After conducting an investigation and thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution, FSIS scientists concluded that use of this product should not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible, resulting in a Class III recall,” the release read.
The FSIS said consumers should either throw the products away or return them to the store where they were purchased.
