The FDA recalled more than 38,040 gallons of Meijer Steam Distilled Water because the water may be contaminated with a "floating black foreign substance." Meijer Inc. originally initiated the recall on Nov. 13, 2025, but the recall is ongoing, and has yet to be classified by the FDA to determine the severity.
The 1-gallon plastic jugs of Meijer Distilled Water have a red lid and can be identified by the UPC 041250841197 (tel:041250841197), "best by" date of Oct. 4, 2026, and lot code 39-222 #3. Meijer's recalled water gallons, which were sold at Meijer stores across the Midwest in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, also have the Product ID 472859 and Meijer Item Code 477910. ***Link to recall notice in bio***
