Salmonella can lead to salmonellosis, and is especially concerning for children and the elderly. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, symptoms of salmonellosis are often “fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.”
The taco seasoning were sold in more than 40 states including Washington DC. As of the time of this posting, there have been no illnesses reported due to salmonella from these seasonings. We’d like to keep it that way, so please be sure to throw out any of the above mixes. And let’s be honest, we shouldn’t be using mixes any way, we should be making these spices from scratch! Consumers with questions about the recall can contact their customer service center at 1-800-847-5608.
