A recall has been issued for two types of Texas Pete hot sauce in ten states due to potential issues with bottling and labeling, according to T.W. Garner Food Company. The recall was prompted by the discovery that some bottles may contain sulfites that are not listed on the label. Sulfites are a common food preservative, but can cause allergic reactions in some people, particularly those with asthma or sulfite sensitivities.
The affected products include specific date codes of Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce and Texas Pete Extra Hot Sauce. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged to check the packaging for the affected codes, which are available on the company's website and through retailers. If the product matches the recalled codes, consumers should return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
T.W. Garner Food Company stated that it is taking steps to correct the labeling and bottling errors to prevent future recalls. The company is also working with regulatory agencies to ensure the safety and compliance of all its products. Consumers with questions or concerns can contact the company directly for more information.
