- Over 10,000 cases of the marinated, ready-to-heat tofu were distributed across 29 states, making this a nationwide concern affecting multiple retailers and consumers.
- Affected 8-ounce packages carry UPC code 850565007842, with lot codes bearing best-by dates spanning May 15, 2026, through November 7, 2026.
