Ragú pasta sauces recalled over possible plastic fragment concerns

Anyone who may have purchased varieties of a popular brand of pasta sauce is urged to double-check the label over concerns it may contain fragments of plastic.

Mikzan America Inc. announced Saturday that certain Ragú pasta sauce varieties are subject to a voluntary recall out of an “abundance of caution.”

“There have not been any reports of consumer injuries or complaints,” the company said in a news release.
