FDA RECALL: Snack Right Super Foods Voluntarily Recalls 25,000 Bags of Brad’s Plant-Based Kale Chips Due to Elevated Thallium Contamination
Snack Right Super Foods Inc. (doing business as Brad’s Raw Chips) has issued a nationwide recall for approximately 25,000 bags of select Brad’s Plant-Based Crunchy Kale and Brad’s Veggie Chips Kale snacks.
The voluntary action was taken after FDA testing detected elevated levels of thallium, a naturally occurring heavy metal found in soil that kale absorbs during growth. The company noted its dehydration process concentrates trace minerals by removing 85% to 90% of water weight. High thallium exposure can cause gastroenteritis, peripheral nerve damage, and hair loss (alopecia).
Affected items include 2 oz and 3 oz packages of Original, Cheeze It Up, Radical Ranch, and Veggie Chips with specific UPC numbers, lot codes, and best-by dates ranging from December 2026 to February 2027.
Distributed nationwide through wholesale suppliers UNFI and KeHE, products were shipped to grocery retailers and health food stores across North and South Carolina. Consumers holding the recalled lots are advised to discard them in secure trash, as retail stores are not offering refunds or taking back returned product.
