Nationwide Class I Recall of Alfredo Sauce Over Potential Salmonella Contamination

The FDA upgraded on June 4, 2026 a recall of Alfredo sauce to Class I, its highest risk category. The recall covers 913 cases of sauce packaged in 3-pound, 7-ounce sealed poly bags (12 bags per case) bearing UPC 0039954921963. The product, produced by The Coffee Connexion Co., Inc. of Lebanon, Tennessee, was withdrawn on May 6 after a supplier warned that a dry milk powder ingredient might be contaminated with Salmonella. Distribution reached 41 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas and Washington, primarily to institutional foodservice venues.

Salmonella infection typically appears 12–72 hours after ingestion, causing diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps and sometimes vomiting. While most healthy adults recover within a week, severe disease and death are more common among children under five, adults over 65, pregnant individuals and those with weakened immune systems. The FDA defines a Class I recall as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The FDA’s notice stressed that the recall was triggered by the ingredient issue and that, to date, no illnesses have been reported. The agency also noted that The Coffee Connexion Co. has not issued a press release and has not responded to media inquiries. Ongoing monitoring will continue to assess any potential exposure.

The FDA’s enforcement report does not confirm any salmonellosis cases linked to the sauce, and The Coffee Connexion Co. has provided no additional testing data. These gaps leave consumers and institutions without definitive guidance beyond the recall advisory.
