Why Canned Tomatoes Are Recalled
Manufacturers issue a canned tomato recall when testing finds contamination, defective packaging, or undeclared allergens. Common triggers include bacterial contamination, botulism risk from damaged cans, or mislabeled ingredients that could affect sensitive consumers.
How to Identify Affected Products
Check the recall notice for specific brand names, UPC codes, lot numbers, and “best by” dates. Inspect cans for dents, rust, swelling, or leaks, and compare the label details exactly. If your product matches the listed details, stop using it immediately.
What to Do If You Own Recalled Canned Tomatoes
Do not consume or donate the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, which usually include disposal or return for a refund.
