AC Culinary Group LLC. has recalled approximately 62,568 units of Chef Pineiro's brand Sofrito and Ajo products because they may contain thin metal filaments. The recall was initiated after a customer found a metal piece in a bottle of Sofrito Cilantro, which was later traced back to contaminated dehydrated minced onions used in several different products. These items were sold in various sizes ranging from 8 oz to 32 oz and were distributed exclusively in Puerto Rico.
The presence of metal filaments in the food poses a choking hazard or risk of internal injury if swallowed. One customer complaint regarding the presence of metal has been reported.
