FDA Warns Consumers of Peanut Allergens Found in Cumin Spice
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers with peanut allergies to avoid food products containing cumin spice due to possible traces of peanut. Cumin is a common ingredient in Indian dishes and Tex-Mex style cooking.
Consumers have reported at least seven incidents in the cumin recall. As a result, products have been continuously recalled since December 2014 including sauces, meats, poultry and black beans. Whole Foods Market and Goya Foods are two of the larger entities that have issued recalls.
