More than 700 units of Blues Hog Sweet and Savory Seasoning have been recalled by Baron Spices due to potentially life-threatening undeclared allergens, the FDA announced on April 9.
These spices, which were sold across three states, were recalled upon the discovery that the products contained soy and wheat, two allergens that were not disclosed on the ingredient list. This could lead to fatal reactions in certain individuals. Find all of the details, including what to do if you are in possession of one of the recalled units, below.
Blues Hog Sweet and Savory Seasoning Recall
Baron Spices of St. Louis, Missouri, is recalling 708 6.25 oz plastic bottles of Blues Hog Sweet and Savory Seasoning because it could contain undeclared wheat and soy. These recalled products pose a potential life-threatening risk to consumers with allergies or sensitivities.
Baron Spices says that while the original version of this seasoning did not contain wheat or soy, a supplier provided a replacement ingredient and failed to disclose the allergens.
The affected products were distributed across Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The recalled bottles are labeled with lot numbers 034-363 and 034-364.
Although there have currently been no reports of illnesses linked to the seasoning, it's important to take recalls like this seriously. If you or someone in your household is allergic to wheat or soy and you bought one of these bottles, the FDA urges you to discard the product or return the product to the place of purchase for a refund.
