Garlic, Black Pepper and Cinnamon Recall: Salmonella

https://veryveganrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/spices-recall-1024x571.png

A grocery store chain has recalled four of it’s spices due to Salmonella contamination.


The affected spices are Garlic, Black Pepper, and Cinnamon. Since our readership is vegan it may not be affected by the fourth contaminated spice seasoning: Bac’n Buds (although I do believe it is vegan). This is a very serious threat, please don’t take it lightly!


According to foodsafety.gov


“Salmonella, the name of a group of bacteria, is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States. Usually, symptoms last 4-7 days and most people get better without treatment. But, Salmonella can cause more serious illness in older adults, infants, and persons with chronic diseases. Symptoms include Diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting.”


These spices were sold at Kroger food stores. However these spices were sold at stores by different names. They include Kroger, Ralphs, Food 4 Less, Foods Co., Fred Meyer, Fry’s, King Soopers, City Market, Smith’s, Dillons, Baker’s, Gerbes, Jay C, Ruler Foods, Pay Less, Owen’s, and Scott’s. If you fear you may have these contaminated spices, please click over to the next page for lot numbers and what to do if you find you have these in your kitchen. Continued on the next page.



The Food and Drug Administration said Kroger is recalling its ground cinnamon, garlic powder, coarse ground black pepper and Bac’n Buds.


The FDA said a sample of garlic powder tested was found to be contaminated with Salmonella.
