The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 31812” on the can. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. See labels released by USDA FSIS here.

The problem was discovered during routine surveillance sampling conducted by a state partner. In-plant verification activities conducted by Crider Foods in conjunction with FSIS found that a spice mix used from an outside source contained unsafe levels of lead.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in customers’ pantries. Customers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to customers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
