Statement for Media and Consumers on Tomato and Jalapeno Safety
[2008-7-11]
Tag : processed vegetable
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) remains committed to ensuring that our products always meet all food safety requirements. Due to recent reports of salmonella possibly resulting from the consumption of fresh tomatoes or jalapenos, we recognize that some consumers are concerned about the safety of food products. To date, no transmission of salmonella from cooked tomatoes or jalapenos has been reported.
There is currently no evidence of transmission of the salmonella through consumption of processed foods containing tomatoes, jalapenos or any other vegetables, because normal cooking temperatures, such as those used in preparing Campbell products, will inactivate the bacteria. This is why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers fully cooked products like soups, pasta sauces, vegetable-based beverages and salsa, to be safe.
Campbell will continue to comply with all requirements and guidelines regarding sourcing and trade of material set by the appropriate governing authorities in order to ensure that our products meet all food safety and quality standards.
Campbell brands that contain tomatoes or jalapenos include “Campbell’s” condensed and ready to serve soups, “Prego” pasta sauces, “V8” vegetable juices, “Campbell’s” tomato juice and “Pace” Mexican sauces.
