Organic Spices, Inc. Recalls Spicely Organic Sumac Due to Mislabeled Salt Content

What Happened

Organic Spices, Inc. of Fremont, California, has initiated a voluntary recall of its Spicely Organic Sumac. The recall was issued after it was discovered that the product contains salt and is mislabeled. While the front of the packaging states “NO SALT,” the ingredients list correctly identifies salt as an ingredient, creating a labeling contradiction that could mislead consumers.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves approximately 980 cases, totaling 11,760 jars, of the following product:

• Product Name: spicely ORGANIC sumac
• Size: 2oz (56g) jars
• UPC: 826998007339
• Lot Number: 103656B
• Best By Dates: 07/01/2031 and 07/02/2031

The affected products were distributed to retailers in the following states: California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

What You Should Do

Consumers who purchased the affected Spicely Organic Sumac and are monitoring their salt intake should discontinue use of the product. For further information or to inquire about returns, consumers may contact Organic Spices, Inc., located at 4180 Business Center Dr, Fremont, CA 94538.

Why This Matters

This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating that the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. This is particularly significant for individuals on sodium-restricted diets who rely on accurate labeling to manage health conditions such as hypertension or kidney disease.
