Outshine Bars Recalled In NJ, May Contain Glass Shards: See Impacted Products
The FDA says that shards of glass have been found in certain flavors.
Outshine Fruit Bars have been voluntarily recalled by their parent company after the FDA said it found shards of glass in its products.
Outshine's owners, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, say that the contamination is restricted to only select Outshine bar flavors: strawberry, watermelon, grape, tangerine, and black cherry.
The recall applies to the 6-packs of 2.5 ounce fruit bars, as well as the 24 count of 2.5 ounce bars.
