How the checker works
UPC
We compare digits only, so spaces and a missing leading zero don't matter: “0 78742 36957 0” and “78742369570” both match.
Lot code
Spaces and dashes are ignored and letters are matched in any case. A can is recalled only if both its UPC and its lot code match the FDA record.
Other foods
The search box asks openFDA, which the FDA updates once a week. Recalls from the last few days can show up in the weekly Enforcement Report before they reach openFDA.
FAQ
Which Great Value fruit cocktail is recalled?
Only Great Value Fruit Cocktail in Fruit Juice from Concentrate, 15 oz (425 g), UPC 078742369570, lot 6FCB 04 C2263, best if used by SEP 01 2027. That is FDA recall H-0167-2027. Cans with a different lot code are not part of it.
Why was it recalled?
The FDA record gives the reason as potential contamination with elevated levels of lead. The packer, Pacific Coast Producers of Lodi, California, started the recall voluntarily on October 1, 2026.
Which states got the recalled cans?
Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wyoming, according to the distribution pattern in the FDA Enforcement Report.
How many cans are recalled?
1,836 cases of 24 units each, which is 44,064 cans.
What does Class II mean?
The FDA classified the recall as Class II on October 20, 2026. The FDA defines Class II as a situation in which use of or exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
What should I do with a recalled can?
Don't eat it. Throw it away or take it back to the store you bought it from. If a child may have eaten it, the CDC advises talking to the child's health care provider: a blood test is the best way to know if a child has been exposed to lead.
Is this the same as the Wegmans fruit cocktail recall?
No, but it is the same packer and the same reason. In September 2025 Pacific Coast Producers recalled 609 cases of Wegmans Fruit Cocktail in 100% Juice (UPC 077890461525, lot 6FCB 02 C2206) for lead, FDA recall H-0038-2026. That recall is marked completed. The checker on this page matches both.
