Regarding La Reyna dips and sauces recall 8/11/23
Co-op Partners Warehouse is recalling La Reyna dips and sauces with a best by date of 8/18. This includes La Reyna Diablo Salsa, Salsa Verde, Guacamole, and Queso Dip.
These products arrived at Co-op Partners Warehouse at temperatures between 52- and 56-degrees Fahrenheit in unrefrigerated transport. Due to a process error, the product was placed in stock rather than quarantined for disposal. Co-op Partners Warehouse determined that the products may have remained at above temperatures for a sufficient period to promote growth of spoilage bacteria such that the shelf life of the product is no longer reliable. The process error has been corrected and preventive measures have been taken. This affects only those products distributed by Co-op Partners Warehouse between August 6 and August 11 with a best buy date of 8/18. No other lots of La Reyna Products distributed by Co-op Partners Warehouse are affected. Co-op Partners Warehouse continues to support the quality La Reyna products enjoyed by our customers.

Organic Strawberry Advisory 6/1/22
The FDA is investigating a possible link between fresh organic strawberries sold between March 5th and April 25th and a hepatitis A outbreak in the U.S and Canada. The strawberries were sold under brand names Fresh Kampo and HEB Organics.
Co-op Partners sold fresh organic strawberries under the Fresh Kampo label starting March 14th and continuing through April 1st.
The investigation is still ongoing and there have been no specific lot numbers cited. We therefore cannot be sure if any of the strawberries we sold were potentially contaminated. Out of an abundance of caution, Co-op Partners advises any customers who purchased fresh strawberries from us during this time period, and froze them, to discard them.
If you are unsure of what brand you purchased, when you purchased your strawberries, or where you purchased them from prior to freezing them, the strawberries should be thrown away.
