Zatarain’s Recalls Original Dirty Rice Mix
It’s time to check the pantry again.
Zatarain’s has issued a voluntary recall of 8 oz. packages of Zatarain’s Original Dirty Rice Mix with a UPC Code 7142909535 and a “BEST BY” date of JAN 19 12H.
According to the FDA website:
Zatarain’s Original Dirty Rice Mix packages with this date code contain undeclared wheat and barley ingredients. People who have allergies to wheat or barley run the risk of serious or life threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
The Zatarain’s Original Dirty Rice Mix package was distributed to limited grocery stores in Florida, Michigan and Virginia beginning February 15, 2010. The product is available in 8 oz. boxes, and the date code is found on the bottom of the package. The “BEST BY” date of JAN1912H is the only date code affected by the recall.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product was mispackaged, and as a result, the ingredient statement on the package did not list wheat and barley as an ingredient.
No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date. No other Zatarain’s products are involved in this recall.
If you purchased this product, contact Zatarain’s Consumer Affairs at 1-877-837-3796 on weekdays between 9:30 AM and 5 PM EST for further instructions and a replacement or a full refund.
I’m sure no illnesses of reactions have been reported only b/c either don’t know how to report it or didn’t realize it was the package mix that was making them sick. I’m sure there are at least a handful of people out there with stomach pains, hives, arthritic symptoms, headaches, bloating and what not very confused as to why it happened.
