    It is possible to get food poisoning from pasta. Once it is cooked, pasta is a food poisoning risk even after reheating from heat resistant toxins formed by Bacillus cereus bacteria. Symptoms can include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, seldom vomiting, but no fever and can be deadly if untreated.

This product was sold in small retail shops and grocery stores throughout Massachusetts and Bermuda and was sold online throughout the USA. No illnesses... See More have been reported to date.

    The Scarpetta brand Pink Pesto is packed in a plastic container. The lot code is located on the bottom of the container. The lot codes are NN149 expiring on 5/02/2023 and NN164 expiring on 12/09/2023 for a total of 906 units.

    In case you experienced harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
