Summary

McCormick & Company is recalling approximately 6,070 cases of McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning, and Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning. These products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, which was discovered during routine testing. The affected seasonings were sold in various sizes ranging from 1.31-ounce bottles to 1.75-pound jugs and were distributed to 16 states and Canada between July and August 2021.

Risk

The seasoning may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
