By David Gurliacci (Patch Staff)

Here’s a list of recalls in the past week announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help you monitor whether or not you’ve bought a recalled product that may endanger your or your family’s health or safety.

For recalls listed on the Department of Agriculture website (identified as “DoA”), we’re listing here only those products sold directly to consumers — not, for instance, products sold to institutions that cook food and serve it to consumers, since consumers can’t then identify where the food originally came from.

The list below shows recalls announced by the FDA or Department of Agriculture (DoA) in the past week, listed by date, brand name, type of food (if it isn’t clear from the name), reason for the recall (sometimes only a reasonable concern), producer (and stores where sold, when applicable) and with links for additional details about the recalled products:
