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 recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) according to the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The C.F. Sauer Company is recalling several varieties of 21-ounce red pepper seasoning, including Sauer, Blue Mountain Valley, Pocahontas, Premium - Recipe, and Code brands. The recall covers specific lot codes for each brand, such as 18107R and 18072R for the Premium - Recipe variety.
The company initiated the recall because the products contain milk, a major food allergen, which is not listed in the ingredient statement or in a separate allergen statement. This undeclared allergen poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.
The affected products have been distributed to Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Consumers should check their pantries for these specific products and lot codes. If found, they should stop using the product and contact the company for instructions on how to return it or dispose of it safely.
