Federal regulators last week announced a recall of peperoncini \u2014 yellow-green pickled chili peppers \u2014 after a customer posted a video showing her unexpectedly discovering what appeared to be a dead mouse inside her jar.<\/p>\n

The notice, issued by G.L. Mezzetta Inc., impacts one lot of Mezzetta Brand Golden Greek Peperoncini.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re aware of a video circulating on social media showing a potential pest contaminant in a jar of Mezzetta GOLDEN GREEK PEPERONCINI MEDIUM HEAT, 32-ounce,” the recall notice said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video first surfaced Sept. 16, when a woman said she noticed the mouse while preparing the peperoncini for dinner.<\/p>\n
