Reason for recall

Based on information received from Kerry Food Ingredients and Flavours, Bay Valley Foods is voluntarily recalling approximately 74,000 cases of boxed pasta mix products manufactured by its subsidiary STP Specialty Foods, Inc. because the recalled products contained a seasoning blend manufactured by Kerry with lactic acid which may contain small metal fragments.

Foreign material recalls cover pieces of metal, plastic, glass, wood or other objects that got into the product during processing and could cause injury if eaten.
