Taco and Enchilada seasoning mix sold under the brand names Ortega and Las Palmas were the subject of a voluntary recall over concerns they may contain peanuts and almonds.
The recall involved certain batches of Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix, Ortega Taco Sauce, Ortega Enchilada Sauce and Ortega Taco Kit products as well as certain Las Palmas Taco Seasoning Mix and Las Palmas Taco Sauce products.
The recall was initiated after the company learned that “one or more of the spice ingredients purchased from a third party supplier contain peanuts and almonds,” according to a statement from the company.
The allergens were not listed on the products’ ingredient labels.
People with severe allergies to peanuts and almonds could face life-threatening reactions if they consumed the products, the statement read.
The company said there was no health risk for individuals without an allergy to peanuts or almonds.
The recalled products were distributed nationwide, the company said.
Consumers who purchased the recalled products were urged to return them for a full refund.
Consumers with questions were urged to contact the company’s recall hotline at 877-929-2576 from 8:00 a.m. ET to 8:00 p.m. ET, or visit www.ortega.com for additional information.
