Urgent Tomato Sauce Recall Over Botulism Fears
An urgent recall has been announced for three tomato-based pasta sauces due to the possible presence of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium capable of causing severe and potentially fatal food poisoning.
Details of the Recall
First and Last Bakery, LLC, has withdrawn the following 26-ounce jars of pasta sauce from the market:
- Original Marinara Sauce Tomato and Basil
- Meat Flavoured Traditional Pasta Sauce
- Mildly Hot and Spicy Puttanesca Sauce
According to reports, these sauces were distributed between Connecticut and Massachusetts, mainly through Big Y stores, starting from 22 September 2025. All affected products carry a use-by date of 26 September 2025.
FDA Statement
"The affected products were produced without an approved processing schedule, meaning the method used was not validated to prevent Clostridium botulinum formation," the US Food and Drug Administration stated.
Health Warning and Consumer Action
Although no cases of illness have yet been recorded, health authorities emphasize that botulism can be fatal. Consumers who purchased these sauces are advised not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Author’s Summary
The FDA recall highlights a serious production lapse that could endanger public health, urging customers in the affected regions to act immediately for safety.
