The recall cites foreign-material contamination: "The firm received a customer complaint describing a metal filament in a bottle of one lot of Sofrito Cilantro 32 oz.

Physical contaminants such as metal, glass, or plastic can cause choking, cuts, or dental injuries.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "US distribution only (Puerto Rico)." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint.

The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 18, 2019), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
