WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Peppers Unlimited Inc. is recalling 580 cases of La Torre-brand jalapeno nacho slices due to contamination.

The FDA said the contamination was caused by a chemical reaction between the product and the can, potentially resulting in a swollen and/or ruptured container.

The Fontana, Calif., company said the recalled products were sold nationwide in 425 gram cans with lot numbers AU4D6, AU4E6, AU515, AU516, AU520, AU526, AU5H6, AU5L6, AU5M6, AU8W6, AU955, AU9V5, AU9W5, AU9X5, AU9Y5 and AU9Z5, In some cases the lots may have a letter "A" or "B" proceeding the lot number and some cans may bear no lot number, the company said.

The FDA said consumers who have the opened cans of the affected products or who have used them in recipes should immediately throw the cans and food away. Unopened cans may be returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

Customers with questions can contact Peppers Unlimited Inc. at 909-923-5580.
