STAR-K ALERT

March 13, 2022

B&G Gherkins

Some lots of B&G Gherkins have been found to contain insect infestation. The lot codes are printed on the side of the lid.

The affected lots identified so far are:

  • #25021 - Best By Feb 25 2023
  • #09031 - Best By Mar 09 2023
  • #24861 - Best By Jun 24 2023

These lots should not be used.

It is unclear at this time how many other lots may be affected. We will be sure to issue updated alerts as warranted.

In the meanwhile, consumers of other lots are advised to slice open each gherkin to check for possible infestation. Refer to the photo below to see what you should be checking for.

Anyone discovering infestation in a lot not referenced above is requested to immediately contact info@star-k.org and share the lot number and Best By information noted on the lid. Attaching a photograph would also be very helpful.
