Microbiological Contamination
Last, but certainly not least on our list of recalls we have the nasty and extremely dangerous food-borne bacteria that most often leads to food poisoning. Luckily, we only have a couple products to share this week:
- Organic Spices, Inc. dba Spicely Organic are recalling their Organic Tarragon Lot No. OTW100134 because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. The affected products are 0.4oz (11g) with “best if used by: 12/31/20 OTW100134”.
