Culinary Masters, BBQ SPICE LEVY, Pack Size 30 lbs.

Gourmet Foods International recalled Culinary Masters, BBQ SPICE LEVY, Pack Size 30 lbs. 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 Jan 14, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Products were manufactured with cumin found to contain undeclared peanuts." 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 "AL, AR, CO, FL, GA, IN, KY, LA, MI, MO, NC, NY, OH, SC, TN & TX." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Atlanta, GA. The recall covers N/A of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Apr 22, 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.
