Summary

Moody Dunbar Inc is recalling HEB and Sysco brand Cut Sweet Potatoes because of a malfunction with the recording equipment used during production. The recall includes HEB Cut Sweet Potatoes in 29 oz. cans and Sysco Classic Cut Sweet Potatoes in 108 oz. cans, affecting HEB - 105 cases/12/29oz cans + Sysco - 144cases/6/108oz cans. Because the data for these production runs was not recorded, the firm cannot confirm the products were processed correctly.

Risk

The recording equipment malfunction means there is no data to verify that the sweet potatoes were heated to the proper temperature to ensure safety. This lack of confirmation poses a potential risk of foodborne illness if the product was not fully sterilized during the canning process.
