The products were sold between May 26 and June 4, 2021 at HomeGoods, Jungle Jim’s International Market, and Smart and Final Stores in Arizona, California, Georgia, New Jersey, Indiana, and Ohio. During a “routine sampling of raw materials,” salmonella was discovered in some of the coriander products now being recalled, the FDA reports. Salmonella can lead to salmonellosis, which frequently causes abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and fever in otherwise healthy individuals. In rare cases, the infection can cause arthritis, eye irritation, infections of the arteries, muscle pain, urinary tract problems, and endocarditis, an inflammation of the heart’s lining. Among young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, salmonellosis can cause serious health issues and even death. The infection can also affect animals, who may become sick by consuming contaminated food or through cross-contamination. If you’ve consumed either of the affected spices and feel ill, contact a medical professional. While no illnesses or other adverse events related to consumption of the recalled coriander had been reported as of the recall date, individuals who have purchased these products should not consume them. If you are in possession of either the recalled Olde Thompson or Sun Harvest ground coriander, “dispose of the recalled product and its container,” the FDA recommends. If you have questions related to the recall, contact Olde Thompson Customer Care at 805-793-4888 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST on Saturdays, or 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. PST on Sundays.
