Summary by Recall Canary from the FDA notice
What happened
Snack Right Super Foods, Inc., doing business as Brad's Raw Chips, is recalling Brad's Plant Based Crunchy Kale (2 oz) and Brad's Veggie Chips Kale (3 oz) products because they may contain thallium, a naturally occurring metal found in the soil and in sulfur-based minerals. It can be taken up by plants and vegetables, particularly those in the Brassicaceous family (i.e., cabbage, radish).
Acute or chronic exposure to thallium at relatively high levels can result in serious adverse health effects, including gastroenteritis, damage to peripheral nerves, and alopecia (hair loss).
The products were distributed nationwide through KeHE Distributors and United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), and sold directly to five individual consumers. Distribution occurred between October 2025 and December 2025. Approximately 25,000 bags (about 2,097 cases) of the recalled products are estimated to be in commerce.
