NATURAL EARTH PRODUCTS, NATURAL EARTH SPICES Ground Cumin, 5 lb. Natural Earth Products Brooklyn, NY 11207.

Natural Earth Products recalled NATURAL EARTH PRODUCTS, NATURAL EARTH SPICES Ground Cumin, 5 lb. 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 12, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "NY." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Brooklyn, NY. The recall covers 30 lbs (6/5 lb containers) 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.
