The Food and Drug Administration has classified a recall of more than 900 cases of Alfredo sauce as a Class I event, the agency’s highest risk level. The classification means the FDA considers there to be a reasonable probability that use of, or exposure to, the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
According to an FDA enforcement report, the recall involves 913 cases of Alfredo sauce packaged in 3-pound, 7-ounce sealed poly bags, with 12 bags per case. The product was made by The Coffee Connexion Co., Inc., based in Lebanon, Tennessee, and the company voluntarily initiated the recall on May 6. The FDA said the action followed a supplier’s recall of a dry milk powder ingredient used in the sauce because of possible salmonella contamination. The recall remains ongoing.
The affected product has UPC 0039954921963. Covered batches include 046188 through 046193 with a best-by date of Jan. 12, 2028; 047290 through 047296 with a best-by date of Feb. 16, 2028; 048029 through 048034 with a best-by date of March 9, 2028; and 049089 through 049094 with a best-by date of April 20, 2028.
The FDA reported that the sauce was distributed in 41 states, including California, Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Washington, and several others across the South, Midwest, Northeast, and West.
Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in otherwise healthy people. It can lead to more serious or sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
The FDA’s report does not indicate whether any illnesses have been linked to the product. No press release was issued for the recall. The recall number is H-0909-2026, and the Class I designation was assigned June 4. Consumers should check packaging and follow disposal or return instructions.
