Plain-English summary

Greenies LLC d.b.a. Terra Spice Company is voluntarily recalling specific varieties of Italian Seasoning with Romano. The affected products include Terra Spice Company, New Kitchen Store, Regal Rabbit, Sawyer Home & Garden Center, and Spice Merchants brands. These dry spice mixes were sold in 0.5, 1, 3, or 5 qt. jars, 4x6 and 6x10 stand up pouches, and bulk up to 50 lbs.

The recall was initiated during an FDA inspection conducted on March 24 and 26, 2015. The reason for the recall is that the product label lists Romano cheese but does not specifically declare milk, which is a major food allergen. The firm does not place manufacturing codes on the products, so all lots are considered affected.

A total of 488.31 lbs. of the product was distributed in commerce. The products were distributed domestically in Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, California, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, Oregon, Delaware, Iowa, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts. No foreign or DOD/VA distribution is reported. Consumers with a milk allergy should avoid using these products.
