Cosmetics, pet food, drugs, and more could be affected by the latest Gold Star Recall!

If you live in or recently visited Minnesota, Indiana, or North Dakota and bought snacks or pantry staples from a store supplied by Gold Star Distribution Inc., you’ll want to take a peek at your shelves ASAP.

They’re recalling ALL FDA-regulated products they distributed (and we’re talking popular items like Pringles, Cheerios, Nutella, and more!) due to possible rodent and bird contamination.

Thankfully, no illnesses have been reported, but this is definitely not something to ignore. Products exposed to pests can pose serious health risks to both humans and pets.

👉 Bottom line: If you have any products from this distributor, don’t eat them. Check recall details and follow disposal/refund guidance right away. Better safe than sorry on this one!


The recalled items may have been sold at the following stores:

Here’s what to do if you have these products:

Do NOT return them to the store. Immediately destroy the product (yep, toss it!) and submit proof of destruction to Gold Star Distribution. Refunds are available upon request.

If you have questions, you can contact Gold Star at 612-617-9800, 7 days a week from 8AM-5PM Central Standard Time.

    FYI – these are ONLY for items that came from gold star, and the items should have all been pulled from store shelves at this point (though if you have purchased items supplied by goldstar from these places in the past, you might want to check your own pantry!).
