Some jarring news: Three Ragu sauces were voluntarily recalled on Saturday because they may contain plastic fragments.

Food company Mizkan American said in a press release that they have not received any consumer complaints or reports of injuries and are recalling the products "out of an abundance of caution." The affected blends were distributed nationwide, and Mitzkan has notified retailers who received shipments so that they can remove the jars from the shelves.
