Packaging on Prego Three Cheese Pasta Sauce advertised that the sauce contained 25% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. However, lab tests carried out by the FDA revealed the sauces provided between 5.47% and 8.33% of the recommended daily intake.


The agency sent Campbell Soup a letter ordering the company to rectify the problem. The company has already responded, promising to change the packaging by the end of May.
