Summary

First & Last Tavern is recalling approximately 90 cases of its Traditional, Marinara, and Puttanesca pasta sauces because they may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum.

The affected 26-ounce glass jars were distributed in Connecticut and Massachusetts and are marked with an expiration date of September 2026.
