Nearly 23,000 pounds of Ukrop's Homestyle Foods baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler products are being recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with metal slivers, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The recalled products were distributed through retail locations in Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, as well as Department of War commissaries and online sales channels.

According to FSIS, the products may contain a foreign material — specifically metal slivers. The recall was initiated after the establishment received a consumer complaint reporting a metal piece found in a fully cooked product.

"The problem was discovered after the establishment received a consumer complaint regarding a metal piece found in a fully cooked product," FSIS stated in its recall announcement.

No injuries have been confirmed in connection with the recalled products. FSIS advised that anyone concerned about a potential injury should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS classifies recalls based on the level of health risk involved. Recalls involving foreign material contamination such as metal fragments are typically designated Class I or Class II, depending on the likelihood and severity of harm. A Class I recall indicates a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The recall affects products manufactured between July 1 and July 29, 2026. Affected items include:

• 62.4-ounce bulk pans of Ukrop's Baked Spaghetti
• 4.8-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop's Baked Spaghetti
• 48-ounce family-size pans of Ukrop's Chicken Cobbler
• 11.6-ounce single-serving trays of Ukrop's Chicken Cobbler

All affected products carry "best by" dates ranging from July 8 through Aug. 5.

Ukrop's Homestyle Foods, based in Richmond, Virginia, is a regional prepared-foods manufacturer whose products are sold through grocery retailers and foodservice channels across the Mid-Atlantic. The company traces its roots to the former Ukrop's Super Markets chain, which operated in Virginia for decades before its grocery stores were sold in 2010.

FSIS urged consumers who purchased the recalled products, including those currently stored in freezers, to discard them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The Ukrop's recall follows a separate action in June, when Rich Products Corp. recalled thousands of cases of its Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers after the frozen snacks were found to potentially contain metal pieces. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, more than 160,000 pounds of those products were recalled across 21 states. Foreign material contamination — including metal, plastic, and rubber fragments — remains one of the most common reasons for USDA-regulated meat and poultry product recalls, often traced to equipment wear or processing-line failures at manufacturing facilities.
