Why it was recalled

Further investigation determined that the same type of metal filament was found in raw material (dehydrated minced onion) used in the manufacture of Sofrito Cilantro 32 oz and other products.
Hard or sharp fragments can cut the mouth or throat, break teeth or cause choking. They usually come from equipment wear or packaging on the production line. All foreign material recalls.
