Plain-English summary

JCB Flavors, LLC is conducting a recall of various seasonings, specifically Carne Asada #100684, in 12 x 4.5 oz jars, 24 x 1 lb bags, and 12 x 1.5 lb jars. The recall involves product codes 1006840812, 100684124, and 1006843212, with lot codes 1114140201 and 0912140503. The total quantity affected is 1,040 lbs.

The recall was initiated after JCB Flavors was informed by their supplier, Schiff Food Products, that the ground cumin used as an ingredient in October through December 2014 tested positive for trace amounts of peanut allergens. This constitutes an allergen mislabeling issue, as peanuts are a common major allergen not declared on the product label.

The affected products were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, California, Indiana, New Jersey, and Arkansas. Consumers with these specific lot codes should check their pantries and discontinue use of the product. Individuals with peanut allergies should exercise particular caution.
