"Although Joe Caputo & Sons markets that produced this product are
located in Algonquin and Palatine, there is the possibility people
from outside McHenry County have purchased this product to take home
with them. At this time there are concerns of potential food
poisoning associated with the product, so we to want get the word
out that people should not eat this particular brand of giardiniera,"
said Dr. Arnold. Giardiniera is an Italian condiment used on
salads and sandwiches and includes a mixture of pickled vegetables
such as carrots, celery, onions and cauliflower in oil.
Consumers are advised not to eat this product but return it to
the store for a refund. This recall is not associated with other
brands of commercially prepared or packaged products of giardiniera.
No illnesses have been reported, but an investigation into the
product continues.
