(CNN) -- Campbell Soup Co. is recalling nearly 15 million pounds of canned SpaghettiOs with meatballs because of possible under-processing, the U.S. agriculture department said.

The recall includes 14.75-ounce cans with a use-by date between June 2010 and December 2011 of three varieties of the product: "SpaghettiOs with Meatballs," "SpaghettiOs A to Z with Meatballs" and "SpaghettiOs Fun Shapes with Meatballs (Cars)."

Consumers who have purchased those products with a plant code of "EST4K" should not eat them and should return them to the store where they were purchased for an exchange or full refund, Campbell Soup said.

The company said in a statement that it was voluntarily recalling the products "in an abundance of caution," and that there was "no information indicating that any under-processed product has reached consumers."

The agriculture department also said it had received no reports of illnesses from consumption of the products.

The cans were produced in Paris, Texas, between December 2008 and June 2010, and shipped to retail customers nationwide, according to Campbell Soup.

The company discovered the problem during a routine warehouse inspection and investigation, the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

Is it just me or is December 2008 to June 2010 a huge period of time? :confused:

Was thinking the same thing.....I'm sure I've bought a few cans of Spagettios during this 2 yr. span.....but my boys are fine....Canned foods such as this, to me, are junk food and I don't buy it often. Kids love it, but to me it tastes gross....We prefer Beefaroni and I buy the big cans of it, fast lunch during the summer months when school is out.

It means the canned of Spaghetti Os are processed and shipped to retail store on between Dec 2008 to June 2010.

I don't like Spaghetti Os either and stopped eat in last 10 years ago. You can cook a real spaghetti with healthy pasta and sauce.
 
Good to know that there's no report of botulism from it - that's the worst kind of food poisoning anyone could get - it takes only ONE botulism bacterium to kill you if you don't get treated.
