Acme Food Sales, INC recalled Canned mandarin oranges labeled in part: "WESTERN FAMILY Choice Selections Mandarin Oranges Naturally Sweet in Mandarin Orange Juice NET WT in a Class III action, the FDA tier used when a product is unlikely to cause adverse health effects, typically for labeling or minor regulatory issues on Nov 30, 2012.

The FDA-published reason for this recall is: "The firm received two consumer complaints regarding chemical smell/taste and tasting like the can. As a result the firm began extensive testing of its inventory. Preliminary testing identified a contaminant was present. Further testing is pending to specifically identify the contaminant."

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "The product was distributed to one wholesaler - Associated Food Stores (AFS) Farr West, Far West, Utah. The January 31, 2015 code was first not thought to have been distributed to retail, however; Associated Food Stores corrected this information and issued a second recall notice because the product had been distributed from their warehouse to retail. Lot codes with Best Buy: DEC 15 2014 and DEC 15 2014 were not distributed out of Acme's warehouse and are currently under their control." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Seattle, WA. The recall covers 8707 cs (24 cans/cs) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 13, 2013), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
