Wawa Issues Multi-State Recall on Select 16-Ounce Milk Products Over Possible Plastic Contamination
After finding soft plastic in some 16-ounce milk products, Wawa voluntarily recalled them. Four state supermarkets are recalling milk kinds with obvious UPC codes and sell-by dates. Recent Wawa milk buyers should check their fridges and destroy contaminated items immediately.
The recall includes 16-ounce Wawa Double Dutch Chocolate Milk, Chocolate Milk, Cookies and Cream Milk, and 2% Reduced Fat Milk, according to the business. All affected goods have code dates of March 2, 2026 except the 2% Reduced Fat Milk, which has a March 5 code date. Only products with these dates and UPC numbers are recalled.
The tainted milk was distributed in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, the business said. 195 locations in four states stocked the 16-ounce Double Dutch Chocolate Milk, which had the largest distribution. Only six New Jersey supermarkets stocked 16-ounce Chocolate Milk. Cookies and Cream Milk was sold in 60 Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey retailers. Seven New Jersey stores carried 16-ounce 2% Reduced Fat Milk.
Wawa said the recall was due to soft plastic in the milk. No injuries or illnesses have been recorded, but the corporation is being cautious to protect customers. Companies undertake proactive food safety recalls when there is even a tiny danger of contamination and swiftly remove implicated products from shop shelves.
Buyers of recalled milk products should not consume them. Instead, discard the objects immediately. Wawa recommends contacting their Customer Contact Center for help. Shoppers can get a Wawa gift card refund. For inquiries, the company offers customer care at 1-800-444-9292.
US food safety regulators routinely recall products. Even if no injuries have been documented, retailers and manufacturers must respond quickly to consumer health risks. Wawa stressed that this recall only applies to 16-ounce milk products with the stated code dates and does not affect other products.
New Wawa 16-ounce milk product buyers in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland should check the UPC numbers and code dates on the packaging. If the milk matches the recalls, toss it aside and contact Wawa for a refund.
The company’s approach follows retail food safety guidelines, which emphasize transparency and quick action when contamination is suspected. No harm has been reported from recalled milk.
