SAN ANTONIO – Check your spice cabinet! Two companies have recalled various dried spices because they could be contaminated with salmonella.
Sauer Brands recalled certain lots of more than two dozen spices by The Spice Hunter, including organic parsley, organic cinnamon, cilantro, black pepper and more. The products come in clear glass jars.
The company’s supplier had notified them about the presence of salmonella in some of the organic parsley. The other spices were recalled out of an abundance of caution because they were manufactured in close proximity to the parsley, the FDA said in its announcement.
No illnesses have been reported. For the list of affected herbs and spices and their best-by dates, visit www.foodsafety.gov.
Red Monkey Foods also recalled certain spices related to salmonella concerns. The recall is for certain lots of organic parsley and Herbes de Provence sold under the brand names Great Value, sold at Walmart, and Cost Plus World Market. No illnesses have been reported.
