Check your cabinets! A massive recall has been issued for several brands of powdered drinks that are common in many households.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), several brands of powdered drinks are being voluntarily recalled by the Kraft Heinz company in the United States due to the potential presence of metal and glass.

“Select code dates of Country Time Lemonade, Tang, Arizona Tea powdered beverages and limited Kool- Aid powdered beverages with ‘Best When Used By’ dates between May 10, 2023 and November 1, 2023 are being voluntarily recalled in the U.S. due to the potential presence of foreign material, specifically very small pieces of metal or glass, that may have been introduced during production.
