FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Toledo, OH -- October 21, 2005 -- Hirzel Canning Company announced that it is voluntarily recalling Prima Qualita brand Meatless Spaghetti Sauce from distribution in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Illinois, due to mislabeling of product packaged in 106 oz. cans of spaghetti sauce containing undeclared cheese. People who have allergies to dairy products run the risk of serious allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The spaghetti sauce in question packed on August 30 and September 3 of this year, are labeled "Prima Qualita brand Meatless Spaghetti Sauce" and bear the code 5242X 1SGSA or 5246Y 1SGSA embossed on one of the container ends. No other cases of this product have been affected.
The company has since found and corrected the problem that caused the mislabeling to occur.
