Williams Chipotle Chili Seasoning recall

Recalled by CH Guenther & Sons, Inc · San Antonio, TX, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Chili and taco seasoning products contain an ingredient which was recalled for potentially containing undeclared wheat allergen. Testing revealed the presence of gluten. Wheat is not declared on the label.

Undeclared allergen: Wheat

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

Where it was sold

FDA's distribution note: Products was distributed to the southern midwest and central south including the states of AR, OK, IA, IL, KS, MO, and TX.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to wheat; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. 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.
