Kraft Heinz says it is recalling Country Time Lemonade and Kool-Aid Tropical Punch powdered drink mixes that might contain tiny pieces of metal and glass.

The recall includes some powdered drink mixes sold in 19-ounce, 82-ounce and on-the-go sticks because of small particles that may have been present during production, said Kraft Heinz director of public relations Jenna Thorton in a statement sent to NPR.

Because of the small particle size, accidentally ingesting the affected product is unlikely to result in injury or illness, according to Kraft Heinz which cited third-party medical experts.

The company urges customers who purchased the items to not consume them but to return them to the store for a refund or throw them out.

5. Hope no one is jonesing or Jonestownsing on this brew

Call me amazed that contaminants are not caught early. Sounds like not testing the batches often enough in an effort to reduce costs.

6. This thread popped up right next to the Jackie Spiers retirement story in LBN.

And speaking of bad stuff in the Kool-Aid, I think it also contains right-wing propaganda.

I'll check if ours are included in the recall.

Edit: Our mixes are safe thank goodness.
