Put Spaghetti Night On Hold, Hunt’s Tomato Paste Recalled Due to Mold
If you were planning spaghetti night, pizza night, or any night that requires tomato paste as an ingredient you might want to order in Chinese…
Hunt’s Tomato Paste Has Been Recalled Due to Mold and you know you don’t want to eat that!
This past week, Conagra Brands (the company that makes Hunt’s) issued a statement offering a voluntary recall after receiving calls from consumer’s stating they had found mold inside their cans.
“Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) is voluntarily recalling a limited amount of Hunt’s Tomato Paste No Salt Added six ounce cans. After the canning process, the final product could have been damaged, creating the potential for mold. Conagra Brands became aware of the issue after receiving calls from consumers.”

YUCK!
Also, once I read about the mold, I immediately thought of people with sensitivities or allergies to mold. Like, if they ate that, they could be in a lot of trouble health wise.
My brother is highly allergic to mold spores so, he’d be in trouble for sure.
The company claims the products covered by this recall were distributed for retail sale in the U.S.
The specific product information is listed below.
Given the product may contain mold, consumers are advised not to use it and to either throw it away or return it to the store where originally purchased for a refund.
