Alfredo sauce recall expands to 41 states over salmonella risk
More than 900 cases of Alfredo sauce sold in 41 states were pushed to the FDA’s highest recall class after a milk powder ingredient raised salmonella fears.
Check the Alfredo sauce in your pantry now. The Coffee Connexion Co. Inc. voluntarily recalled 913 cases of its Alfredo sauce after a dry milk powder ingredient was pulled by a supplier over possible salmonella contamination, and the FDA later raised the alert to a Class I recall, its most serious category.
The recalled sauce came in 3-pound, 7-ounce sealed poly bags, with 12 bags per case. The affected product carries product number SSP980713 and UPC 0039954921963. Matching lots include 046188 through 046193, lot 0126 with a best-by date of Jan. 12, 2028; 047290 through 047296, lot 0476 with a best-by date of Feb. 16, 2028; 048029 through 048034, lot 0686 with a best-by date of March 9, 2028; and 049089 through 049094, lot 1106 with a best-by date of April 20, 2028.
The sauce was distributed in 41 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The FDA says its enforcement report did not indicate any illnesses tied to the product at the time it was updated, but the recall remains ongoing.
Class I is the FDA’s highest risk label, used when there is a reasonable probability that exposure to the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. That is the level now attached to a sauce most shoppers would treat as a routine pantry staple, which makes the lot and UPC numbers worth checking line by line before the next pasta night.
Salmonella can cause gastrointestinal illness, and symptoms usually appear within 12 to 72 hours. The FDA says those symptoms may include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, and the CDC says young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems face the highest risk of severe illness. If the bag in your kitchen matches the codes, do not use it. This is one of those recalls where a quick label check is the difference between a normal dinner and a serious problem.
