If you have an unopened can of one the recalled products do not open the can. Place the unopened can in a sealable bag, wrap two plastic bags around it, and tape it tightly. Dispose in household trash out of reach of humans and pets. Wash hands with soap and running water for at least 2 minutes.

If you have a container with some of the recalled food, or a food prepared using one of recalled products, wear gloves and eye protection. If the food is in a disposable container, leave it in the container. Put the container in a sealable bag, wrap two plastic bags around it, and tape it tightly. If the food is in a non-disposable container, put the food from the container into a sealable bag, wrap two plastic bags around it, and tape it tightly. Dispose the taped bags in household trash out of reach of humans and pets.
Fill the non-disposable container with a dilute bleach solution (use ΒΌ cup bleach for every 2 cups of water), and allow to soak for at least 15 minutes. Discard the liquid and wash thoroughly with soap and running water. Slowly remove gloves and dispose after use. Wash hands with soap and running water for at least 2 minutes.
