Packaging Defect Might Caused Contamination
Conagra’s subsequent examination determined that the recalled cans may have been damaged in a way that was not readily evident to consumers, potentially allowing foodborne germs to infiltrate the cans.
“Subsequent investigation by the establishment determined that the cans subject to recall may have been damaged in a manner that is not readily apparent to consumers, which may allow foodborne pathogens to enter the cans,” it said.
There have been no proven complaints of adverse effects as a result of using these products. Anyone who is concerned about an accident or illness should seek medical attention.
