Swanson Organic recall

Recalled by Swanson Health Products, Inc · Fargo, ND, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

This is to inform you of a product recall involving 2 lots of Swanson Organic 100% Certified Organic Fennel Seed (SWF092). Some jars of fennel seeds have been found to contain small, red beetle-type insects.

Hard or sharp fragments can cut the mouth or throat, break teeth or cause choking. They usually come from equipment wear or packaging on the production line. All foreign material recalls.

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. 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.
