What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as Class II. The recall involves undeclared sesame, a common allergen, on the product label, though sesame seeds are visible in the bottle. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness fits the High (Score 3) criterion per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Johnny's Parmesan Garlic Seasoning (5 oz, 141g poly bottle with green spice cap, UPC 0-70381-10060-6) is being recalled for undeclared sesame. The product is manufactured by OS Holding Inc and distributed by Johnny's Fine Foods Inc, located in Tacoma, Washington.

The seasoning is mislabeled. The label identifies the product as Johnny's Parmesan Garlic Seasoning and declares that it contains milk and is manufactured in a facility that processes wheat, soy, sesame, and egg. However, the label does not explicitly declare sesame as an ingredient. Sesame seeds are visible through the clear plastic bottle.

The recalled product was distributed to Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. A total of 428 cases (6 bottles per case) or 2,568 bottles are affected. Bottles carry best-before dates of March 4, 2026.
