Conagra Brands is voluntarily recalling some of its Hunt’s Tomato Paste because it may contain mold that can make people sick. The recall notice did not state whether or not anyone has been sickened as a result of this issue. Mold can produce toxins that can make people sick.
The recalled product is 6 ounce cans of Hunt’s Tomato Paste No Salt Added. The case UPC number is 00-0-27000-38809-9, the item UPC number is 00-0-27000-38807-5, the case batch/lot code is 5291902510, and the item batch/lot code is 2105902510. The best by date on the product is OCT 16 2020. No other Hunt’s or Conagra Brands products are affected by this recall.
The problem occurred when the final product could have been damaged after canning, which created the potential for mold. Customers have called the company, telling them about the problem.
If you purchased this product, do not eat it or use it. Throw it away or take it back to the store where you purchased it for a full refund. The tomato paste was sold throughout the U.S. at the retail level. The FDA is working with Conagra to make sure the product is removed from store shelves and is no longer distributed.
