The sauces, produced earlier this month, were distributed nationally, the company said.
"Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a refund," Publix grocery store chain said in its own announcement .
Customers can also contact Mizkan America for a replacement coupon and to have any sauces picked up for further examination, the company said.
