What was recalled?
This recall covers MID EAST Jordanian Zaatar spice mix, with approximately 4,400 pounds affected. The company behind the recall is Kradjian Importing Company, Inc., based in Glendale, CA. The FDA describes the product as: “MID EAST Jordanian Zaatar spice mix; NET Wt. 5lb plastic bag; UPC: 094379607038 Packed by: Propack Inc. Sunvalley, CA 91354”
Why was MID EAST Jordanian Zaatar spice mix recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Undeclared allergen ingredients (sesame and wheat) in Zaatar Spice mix.” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought MID EAST Jordanian Zaatar spice mix, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (m-dd format of repacking) before using it.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact Kradjian Importing Company, Inc. or your local health authority.
