Z Natural Foods of West Palm Beach, FL, is recalling 55 pounds of Lightly Roasted Organic Carob Powder due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recalled Lightly Roasted Organic Carob Powder was only available for sale directly through the company’s website at www.ZNaturalFoods.com. It was not available in retail stores. The Lightly Roasted Organic Carob Powder was available in a 1-pound and 5-pound standup resealable foil pouches either bronze (1 lb.) or silver in color (5 lb.) and marked with Lot # ZNCARB39513 and a best-by date of 12/5/2016 at the bottom of the label. 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.
