What happened
Mezzetta issued a voluntary recall for a single lot of 32-ounce jars of Golden Greek Peperoncini Medium Heat, which was triggered by a video posted on TikTok. The video showed a dead rodent inside one of the jars. Mezzetta published an announcement on the Food and Drug Administration website, stating it is conducting an investigation and has contacted consumers who received the affected product.

Why it matters
