Plain-English summary

Greenies LLC, doing business as Terra Spice Company, is voluntarily recalling Terra Spice Company, New Kitchen Store, Sawyer Home & Garden Center, and WILD ONION Spice Company barbeque spice blends. The recall was initiated during an FDA inspection conducted on March 24 and 26, 2015.

The firm does not place manufacturing codes on the products, so all lots are included in the recall.

Approximately 2,399.99 pounds of the product were distributed in commerce across 23 domestic states, including Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, California, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, Oregon, Delaware, Iowa, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
