Tomato Sauce Recalled Due to Botulism Risk
First and Last Bakery LLC, based in Hartford, Connecticut, has announced a recall of three tomato sauce products after a potential safety concern was identified by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
Details of the Recall
The recall affects 20-ounce jars of tomato sauces with “best by” dates listed in September. The company did not clarify the specific year of expiration. These sauces were sold through Big Y and Stop & Shop retail stores in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Health and Safety Concern
The products were made without an approved scheduled process or adequate evaluation to ensure proper safety standards. Such procedural failures in producing acidified or low-acid canned foods can allow Clostridium botulinum toxin to form, posing a serious health risk.
“No illnesses have been reported to date,” the company stated. “Sales and production have been suspended to maintain full compliance with all regulatory requirements.”
Summary
Consumers are advised not to use the affected products and to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
