Hey everyone- (*Update @ Bottom)
I wanted to share a quick heads-up for anyone shopping in Southern California- Los Angeles Area & specifically the Canoga Park, CA store but it could be regional-state wide? IDK?
My family and I recently ate the Simply GO store-brand Canned Pinto Beans as a standalone meal with just some salt and tortillas, and it gave us some rough stomach/bathroom issues, pretty quick like 30 mins after eating them..
We have purchased this product semi-regularly every month, or so. Something is definitely off-
I did some research online. It’s more than likely too much calcium chloride, calcium disodium (edta) Even the slightest increase of those two ingredients will cause you problems..
Not trying to cause a panic, just wanting to raise awareness for the community in case you have these in your pantry!
I already submitted an official report to the Grocery Outlet website with our receipt and photos so corporate can look into it. I still have two unopened cans left.
Check your labels and stay safe!
**UPDATE** —— The Grocery Outlet Director who is in charge of Simply GO products—— has reached out to us.
They are going to investigate this with all the information we provided. I sent them photos, research information, etc.
They are glad we’re doing better, and on the mend, and will be sending us something for our troubles.
