A popular seasoning is being recalled in Washington State over a potential undeclared ingredient posing a serious health risk.
The Oregon Spice Company is recalling Johnny's Parmesan Garlic Seasoning because it may contain undeclared sesame, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The spice comes in a 5-ounce bottle with a green cap and ink jet writing on the bottom reading, "BB 04MAR26 0644 19:48 to 21:41."
Officials said people with a sesame allergy or severe sensitivity could be at risk of "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction" if they consume this seasoning. No illnesses have been reported as of Wednesday (April 10).
The product was distributed to Fred Meyer, QFC, Albertson’s, and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and Alaska. The agency said the recalled seasoning was distributed through Amazon.com and online orders on Johnny's brand website.
The company recalled the seasoning after a distributor discovered sesame and noticed the product's label didn't disclose the ingredient.
Anyone with questions or concerns about the recall can contact Oregon Spice Company at 503-238-0664 or customerservice@oregonspice.com. They're available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PST.
