New Jersey

Officials at Conagra Brands issued a voluntary recall for six-ounce cans of Hunt's tomato paste over mold concerns.

In a statement released to the public, Conagra officials said the paste, which prides itself in coming from "all-natural, vine-ripened tomatoes," may have been affected after the canning process and have pulled "no salt added" paste.

"The final product could have been damaged, creating the potential for mold," the Chicago- based company said in a press release.

Phone calls from consumers to Conagra Brands made company officials aware of the issue.

The affected cans were only distributed in the United States and fall under the lot code 2105902510 with an expiration date of October 16, 2020, and no other products were affected, company officials said.

The Food and Drug Administration was made aware of the issue Conagra Brand officials are working to ensure the affected products are off the shelves and not being distributed officials said.
