Tullias Recalls Sauce Because of Possible Health Risk
Contact Consumer: 509-879-0325
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 3, 2014 - Tullias is recalling Italian Meatless Pasta Sauce code 530140. This recall has been initiated because a records review by the Washington State Department of Agriculture revealed that one batch of sauce produced with the 530140 code had a pH level high enough to allow the growth of Clostridium botulinum. If present, this organism can cause botulism, a serious and potentially fatal foodborne illness.
Foodborne botulism is a severe type of food poisoning caused by the ingestion of foods containing the potent neurotoxin formed during growth of the organism. Foodborne botulism can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled
Recalled sauce is packaged in 16 OZ. and 32 OZ. clear glass bottles with white caps. The code can be found on the label and is in blue ink. The only code of Tullias Italian Meatless Pasta Sauce recalled is 530140.
The recalled sauce was sold in the following markets in the Spokane area: Rosauers; Yokes; Eggers (West Rosewood); Trading Company Stores (Spokane); Main Market; and Albertsons (Wandermere Mall).
Tullias has made the decision to recall this product to ensure the safety of their customers. The company has not been notified of any illness associated with their products.
Consumers who have purchased recalled sauce are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 509-879-0325 during the hours of 3PM to 5PM PST.
