LiDestri Foods Co. is recalling 24-ounce jars of Wegman's Italian Classics Diavolo pasta sauce as it may contain undeclared fish (anchovy), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The product can be identified as a mason jar with red pasta sauce, called Diavolo. The affected product comes with UPC 077890222409, and the only expiration date affected is March 31, 2025, with the code F0589.
The Diavolo pasta sauce was sold at Wegman's grocery stores in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia between April 3, 2023 and May 16, 2023.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered through consumer complaint that the Wegman's Italian Classics Diavolo Pasta Sauce containing anchovies was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of anchovies. As per the investigation, the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in LiDestri Foods' packaging processes.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to anchovy may get the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
However, the company has not received any reports of illnesses related to the recalled product to date.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled Wegmans Italian Classics Diavolo pasta sauce are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
