Curry powder packaged under bulk recall

Recalled by Sirob Imports, Inc. · Lindenhurst, NY, United States

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Products may contain elevated levels of lead.

Some of these cause harm only with repeated exposure (lead in spices, for example), others act within hours (histamine poisoning from spoiled fish). All chemical contamination recalls.

FDA's distribution note: NY, IL, NJ, MI,PA,FL

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
