TACO SEASONINGS AND KITS RECALLED

  

Taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, taco sauce, and taco kits made by Ortega and Las Palmas are being recalled because their labels do not alert consumers that they contain peanuts and almonds, which are allergens that can cause life-threatening allergic reactions.

B&G Foods is voluntarily recalling certain Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix, Ortega Taco Sauce, Ortega Enchilada Sauce and Ortega Taco Kit products and certain Las Palmas Taco Seasoning Mix and Las Palmas Taco Sauce products.

The company said people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts and almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

There is no health risk associated with these products for individuals without an allergy to peanuts or almonds.

The recalled products were distributed in retail stores and food service outlets nationwide.
