Boyd Coffee CO recalled E-3 Seasoning/Spice, Part #1690. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 12, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "sub-ingredients hydrolyzed soy protein and hydrogenated soybean oil were not declared on the finished product label of E-3 Seasoning." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Product distributed in Washington." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Portland, OR. The recall covers will be provided of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 10, 2012), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
