Recall of Tomato Sauce Products Due to Botulism Risk
First and Last Bakery LLC, based in Hartford, CT, is recalling three tomato sauce products because of a possible health risk identified by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
Details of the Recall
- Products are packaged in 20-ounce jars with best-by dates in September (year unspecified).
- The recalled sauces were distributed in Connecticut and Massachusetts, including through Big Y and potentially other retail stores.
- Sales and production of these sauces have been suspended to comply with regulatory standards.
- No illnesses have been reported so far.
Reason for Recall
The products were produced without an approved scheduled process or adequate evaluation to ensure safety. Improper processing of acidified or low-acid canned foods can lead to the formation of Clostridium botulinum toxin, which causes botulism.
About Botulism Poisoning
"While a variety of illnesses can result from eating under-processed food, one of the most dangerous is botulism poisoning. Untreated, botulism can paralyze the muscles needed for breathing, resulting in sudden death."
Anyone who has consumed the recalled products and developed symptoms of botulism should seek immediate medical attention.
