Mezzetta voluntarily recalled one lot of its 32-ounce Golden Greek Peperoncini Medium Heat after a TikTok video appeared to show a dead mouse in a jar. The recall is limited to products marked SKU 10106328 and lot number 720106; no other Mezzetta products or lots are included. The company has contacted the consumer, asked retailers to remove the affected product, and is reviewing the jar and relevant production, sanitation and food-safety records. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Consumers should not eat the recalled peppers and should contact Mezzetta customer support for assistance.
