Urgent Recall of Three Tomato Sauces Linked to Potentially Fatal Food Poisoning
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced an urgent recall of three tomato sauce products due to concerns over a possible link to deadly food poisoning.
Details of the Recall
The recalled sauces are manufactured by First and Last Bakery, LLC in Connecticut. The FDA flagged the products because they were “manufactured without an approved schedule or otherwise evaluated to determine if the process is adequate,” which raises the risk of contamination by Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium causes botulism, a potentially fatal type of food poisoning.
