“Procesadora Coconut Milk Recall: Underprocessed Food Safety Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/24027-procesadora-coconut-milk-recall-underprocessed-food-safety-risk. Based on FDA recall #F-1923-2016 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-1923-2016%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
Thermal underprocessing can allow harmful bacteria to survive in the canned goods. Consuming these products could lead to foodborne illness because the heat treatment was insufficient to ensure commercial sterility.
Who’s affected
Consumers in the United States who purchased coconut milk from New York consignees between the production date and June 20, 2015. Individuals with weakened immune systems or food safety concerns are at higher risk.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for coconut milk cans that are 13.5 fluid ounces, packaged in steel tins with UPC code 7189123232406. Affected lots include 32, 35, 37, 41, 43, 47, 39, 53, and 57.
