McCormick recalls 3 seasonings in 32 states, Canada and Bermuda on salmonella concerns

Seasoning giant McCormick yanked eight lots of Italian seasonings and Frank’s RedHot seasoning off store shelves in 32 states, Bermuda and Canada because they might be contaminated with salmonella.

According to McCormick’s Monday recall notice, which was also posted to the FDA website Tuesday, “The potential risk was brought to McCormick’s attention by the FDA during routine testing.”

In the United States, the seasonings went to Florida; New York; Alabama; California; Colorado; Connecticut; Delaware; Georgia; Illinois; Indiana; Kansas; Kentucky; Louisiana; Massachusetts; Maryland; Maine; Michigan; Minnesota; Missouri; Mississippi; North Carolina; Nebraska; New Hampshire; New Jersey; Ohio; Oklahoma; Pennsylvania; South Carolina; Tennessee; Texas; Virginia; and Wisconsin.

By the CDC’s count, salmonella strikes 1.35 million Americans each year, hospitalizes about 26,500 and kills 420. Most at risk for the worst effects are senior citizens, children under 5 and those with damaged immune systems. Most people get fever, vomiting, stomachaches and diarrhea for four to seven days.
