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: Allergen mislabeling on a common allergen: sesame is in the jar but the label identifies it as curry powder, which the rubric places at High.

Plain-English summary

Lunds & Byerly's Curry Powder Sweet is being recalled. The action covers 144 bottles.

The stated reason is that Sesame Seeds White were labeled as Curry Powder Sweet. Sesame is one of the major food allergens required to be declared, and consumers buying a curry powder would have no indication that the jar contains sesame. The FDA classified the action as Class II.

The affected lot code is 0082026U00232, best by 01/26/2029. Distribution was in Wisconsin.

People with a sesame allergy or sensitivity should not use the product and should return it to the place of purchase. Anyone who has consumed it and has an allergic reaction should seek medical advice.
