Z Natural Foods of West Palm Beach, FL, is recalling 55 pounds of Lightly Roasted Organic Carob Powder due to potential Salmonella contamination.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. However, due to the time required to trace an illness back to a specific food product, it is impossible to say whether any illnesses have occurred. The potential for contamination was recognized after the company learned that another customer of its ingredient supplier received a positive test for Salmonella. All sales of the Lightly Roasted Organic Carob Powder have been suspended while FDA, Z Natural Foods and its suppliers continue their investigation into to the source of the problem. No other Z Natural Foods products are affected.
