Kroger Recalls Seasonings Due to Salmonella Risk

Kroger is recalling four types of seasonings after routine FDA testing determined some seasonings may be contaminated by salmonella.

Kroger Ground Cinnamon, Kroger Garlic Powder, Kroger Coarse Ground Black Pepper and Kroger Bac’n Buds products sold in 31 states are being pulled from the shelves after a sample of Kroger Garlic Powder in North Augusta, South Carolina tested positive for Salmonella, the company says. The company is recalling all of the product created on the same equipment in the same facility where the contaminated sample came from.

The recall affects the following products:

• Kroger Ground Cinnamon UPC: 111107003 Sell by: May 19 18PS4 18.3 oz
