Upton’s Naturals Seitan Bacon Withdrawal
July 10, 2023
Information
Big Y Foods is issuing a market withdrawal for a single production lot of Upton’s Naturals Seitan Bacon (UPC 70510586107) for having a wrong expiration date. This one lot was double stamped with the date, where it appears to read the year ‘2028’ instead of ‘2023’. There is not a food safety issue.
Upon returning the product to your local Big Y or with the proof of purchase (if the product was discarded), you will receive a full refund.
The following products are sold at Big Y:
| Product Name | UPC | Size | Sell-by Date |
| Upton’s Naturals Seitan Bacon | 70510586107 | 5oz | 8/21/28 |
Consumers with questions may contact Mary Schenone from Upton’s Naturals at 209-483-7959 Monday – Friday from 11am-8pm EST or mary@growbrandmanagement.com.
