Summary

Company Announcement

JCB Flavors, LLC of Watertown, Wisconsin, is voluntarily recalling select topical seasoning products due to the potential presence of Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.

Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can lead to more severe illnesses, including bloodstream infections, arterial infections (such as infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

This recall is being initiated because the affected products were manufactured using a milk powder ingredient that is part of a voluntary recall issued by California Dairies, Inc. This ingredient was used in certain topical seasonings.

At this time, no illnesses or injuries associated with these products have been reported. Additionally, third-party laboratory testing of finished products has not identified contamination. However, JCB Flavors is taking this action out of an abundance of caution and commitment to consumer safety.

The impacted products are 1.6 oz retail containers available through e-commerce platforms and retail stores nationwide.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are advised not to consume or use them.
