Wattie's Canned Spaghetti With Sausage Recalled Due to Import Inspection Failure

Plain-English summary

Kiwi Care Package Company, located in South Tahoe, California, is recalling approximately 90 pounds of Wattie's canned spaghetti with sausage. The recall involves 137 cans weighing 300 grams each, labeled as "Wattie's Spaghetti with Sausages 100% Lamb & BEEF." The product was imported on September 1, 2016, and sold through the internet.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall because the product was not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection. Additionally, the product was received from a New Zealand establishment that was not eligible to export to the United States. FSIS discovered the issue during routine monitoring on September 22, 2016, and confirmed the failure to present the shipment for re-inspection on September 23, 2016.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
