Certain Ragu spaghetti sauces were recalled in the U.S. because the sauce may contain fragments of plastic, according to food producer Mizkan America, Inc.
Although there have not been any reports of consumer injuries or complaints Mizkan America is issuing the Ragu pasta sauce recall out of an abundance of caution.
This recall is at the retail level and all impacted retailer customers have been notified of this voluntary recall, including Publix supermarkets.
Retailers who have not been notified are not impacted by this voluntary recall.
Mizkan America also asks consumers to examine their refrigerator and pantry inventory for the specific jars affected by this recall.
Any recalled sauce should be discarded and not consumed.
These sauces were produced between June 4-8 and Mizkan America believes that the majority of this production run is in its control. However, some cases of the sauces listed above were shipped to customers recently and these cases/products are subject to this voluntary recall.
