Rosa Maria Ground Cumin, (Comino Molido), 6 oz. (173g), UPC 707425-16041-7, Packed by NAC Foods Corp., Palisades Park, NJ.

N.a.c. Foods recalled Rosa Maria Ground Cumin, (Comino Molido), 6 oz. (173g), UPC 707425-16041-7, Packed by NAC Foods Corp., Palisades Park, NJ. in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 24, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "N.A.C. Foods initiated this recall because Mimi's Products Ground Cumin and Rosa Maria Ground Cumin may contain undeclared peanut protein." 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 "NJ, NY and PA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Palisades Park, NJ. The recall covers 22 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 18, 2015), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
