What to check on your pouch
Before you cook, bake, or mix anything with your aquafaba powder, take a moment to compare your package to the recall identifiers listed in the FDA notice. In particular, you’ll want to check:
- UPC (barcode identifier), and
- the sticker “best by” date shown on the pouch (and any other identifiers FDA lists on the notice).
If your product matches the specified UPC(s) and sticker “best by” date included in the FDA recall, treat it as part of the recall.
