Why glass in ready-made sauces is a problem

In foreign body recalls, the risk isn't quantity-dependent: even a very small fragment can cause injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract. For this reason, companies recall the entire batch as soon as the problem is identified during internal controls or inspections on the packaging line.

Returning the product to the point of sale helps remove it from the market as quickly as possible: those who have the jar in their pantry are therefore the most useful part of the supply chain, because they can return it before it is consumed.
