Snack Right Super Foods, Inc., doing business as Brad’s Raw Chips, on Monday recalled certain Brad’s Plant Based kale chip products because they may contain thallium. The Coral Gables, Fla., company said the voluntary recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The products were distributed nationwide through KeHE Distributors and United Natural Foods, Inc., and sold directly to five individual consumers. Approximately 25,000 bags, about 2,097 cases, are estimated to be in commerce. Distribution occurred between October 2025 and December 2025.

Thallium is a naturally occurring metal found in the soil and in sulfur-based minerals, the announcement said. It can be taken up by plants and vegetables, particularly those in the cabbage and radish family. Acute or chronic exposure at relatively high levels can result in serious adverse health effects, including gastroenteritis, damage to peripheral nerves, and hair loss.

The recall covers bagged products sold under the brand name Brad’s Plant Based. They are Brad’s Crunchy Kale in Original, Cheeze It Up and Radical Ranch, each in a 2 oz bag, and Brad’s Veggie Chips Kale in a 3 oz bag. Specific lot numbers, best-by dates and UPC codes are in the company announcement.

In May 2026, the California Department of Public Health advised consumers not to eat certain Brad’s Plant Based products after it investigated an inquiry from one individual with elevated thallium levels. The department collected samples at retail stores in the Sacramento area, and laboratory testing found elevated thallium levels in multiple varieties. The company said the recall was initiated after the FDA advised the firm of thallium in tested products.

The announcement said the manufacturing process did not introduce the contaminant. Kale and related crops can accumulate certain elements from soil. Dehydration removes approximately 85 to 90 percent of the product’s water, which concentrates elements already present in the fresh kale.

Consumers who bought any of the listed products should stop consuming them immediately and discard them, the company said. Refunds are not being offered, and the product should not be returned to the place of purchase. People who believe they had adverse health effects from these products should contact a health care provider.

Consumers with questions may email Alexa Olvera at Snack Right Super Foods, Inc., at alexandra@thesnackright.com, Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The company said consumers can expect a response within one business day.
