McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) has announced a voluntary
recall of Lawry’s® Fajitas Spices & Seasonings packages with UPC Code
2150022500 and a “best if used by” date of OCT0110PX62, sold under the
Lawry’s brand. Lawry’s Fajitas Spices & Seasonings packages with this
date code contain undeclared milk ingredients. People who have allergies
to milk run the risk of serious or life threatening allergic reactions
if they consume this product.
The Lawry’s Fajitas Spices & Seasonings packages were distributed to
grocery stores nationally beginning on October 17, 2008. The product is
available in 1.27 oz. pouches, and the date code is found printed in
black on the back, bottom center of the pouch. The “best if used by”
date of OCT0110PX62 is the only date code affected by the recall.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product was
mispackaged and as a result the ingredient statement on the package did
not list milk as an ingredient.
No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date. No other
Lawry’s products are involved in this recall.
All grocery outlets that sell Lawry’s Fajitas Spices & Seasonings
packages have been notified to remove the affected product (UPC Code
2150022500 and a “best if used by” date of OCT0110PX62) from their
shelves immediately. Consumers do not need to return the product to the
store where it was purchased. Instead, consumers are urged to contact
Lawry’s Consumer Affairs team at 1-800-9-LAWRYS (1-800-952-9797),
weekdays from 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM, or weekends from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
(Eastern Daylight Time) for a replacement or full refund, as well as
instructions on what to do with the product.
This recall is being made with the knowledge of the Food and Drug
Administration. The company is also issuing an alert through the Food
Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network.
