McCormick Is Voluntarily Recalling Italian & Buffalo Ranch Seasonings in 32 States Due to Possible Salmonella Risk

McCormick & Company, Inc is voluntarily recalling seasonings due to their possible contamination with salmonella. The recall was initiated after testing by the FDA, although no illnesses have been reported to date.
