RECALL: Condiments Pulled From USA Shelves

Gourmandize

Winn-Dixie Supermarkets, BI-LO Supermarkets and Harvey’s Supermarkets are pulling Fat Cat Purry-Purry Sauce Hot Sauce due to a potential peanut contamination.

The recalled Fat Cat Purry-Purry Sauce Hot Sauce comes in a 5 ounce glass bottle; the necks of the affected bottles display the lot number FCPPMAY092019 on them. A digital image of the product and its label are included below:

The product was from a single production batch, and was distributed to 464 stores in the Southeastern U.S.. The stores that carried the product are located in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Louisiana specifically.

The recall was initiated after an ingredient supplier, Woodland Foods of Chicago, IL, notified Fat Cat Gourmet Foods via letter that there was a possible peanut contamination in the peri-peri peppers used in their product.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this, and only bottles of Fat Cat Purry-Purry Sauce Hot Sauce sold at the aforementioned retailers with the lot number FCPPMAY092019 stamped on it are affected.

While Fat Cat Gourmet Foods will continue to produce the product, the company will no longer use per-peri peppers sourced from Woodlands Foods in doing so. Peri-peri peppers used in future productions of Fat Cat Purry-Purry Sauce Hot Sauce will now be obtained from a different supplier, who has provided microbial clearance of allergens to the product prior to production agreement.
