Twitter reacts to the recall

There is no doubt that Hyvee is a popular brand for potato salad, hence, the news of the recall spread like wildfire. Many people went on to Twitter to talk about the brand's withdrawal. One user also commented:

“Sh*t. My potato salad brand of choice at Hyvee was recalled.”

A similar incident was seen in Canada, where baked goods were withdrawn due to possible pieces of plastic. The Canadian Food Agency has recalled several "Enjoy Life" brand bakery products that included the brand's following products:

• Chocolate Chip
• Double Chocolate Brownie flavors
• Enjoy Life Chewy Bars – Chocolate Chip and Caramel
• Enjoy Life Breakfast Ovals in Berry Medley and Chocolate Chip and Banana flavors.

The stricter laws around food have resulted in these actions to protect the consumers and their health.
