Why Do Spices Keep Testing Positive for Salmonella?
If you’ve been following food safety news, this won’t come as a surprise. A 2013 FDA risk profile found salmonella in about 6.6% of imported spice shipments it sampled. Industry insiders are noting three recurring weak points:
- Raw sourcing: Spices are often dried outdoors in open air.
- No kill step: Many seasonings skip heat treatment before packaging.
- Long shelf life: Salmonella can survive for months in dry foods.
Our analysis suggests spice recalls will stay frequent until pathogen-reduction steps become standard.

How Serious Is This Recall Class?
The FDA sorts recalls into three classes based on health risk. Check the official notice for the final classification [Class].
| Class | Risk Level | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Class I | Highest | Reasonable chance of serious illness or death |
| Class II | Moderate | Temporary or reversible health effects |
| Class III | Low | Unlikely to cause harm |
Salmonella-related seasoning recalls often land in Class I or Class II.
What Are the Symptoms of Salmonella?
Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) is a bacterial foodborne illness. The CDC estimates it causes about 1.35 million U.S. infections each year.
| Symptom | Typical Onset | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Diarrhea | 6 hours to 6 days | 4 to 7 days |
| Fever | 6 hours to 6 days | 4 to 7 days |
| Stomach cramps | 6 hours to 6 days | 4 to 7 days |
| Nausea or vomiting | Varies | Varies |
High-risk groups: children under 5, adults 65+, pregnant people and anyone with a weakened immune system. Call a doctor if you notice bloody diarrhea or a fever over 102°F.
What Should You Do Right Now?
You have three clear options. Follow these steps in order:
- Check the label. Match the UPC and lot code to the recall table.
- Stop using it. Do not cook with or taste the seasoning.
- Seal and separate. Bag the bottle so it can’t touch other food.
- Return it. Bring it to any Walmart for a full refund, receipt not required per standard recall practice.
- Clean surfaces. Wash counters, utensils and shakers with hot, soapy water.
- Report illness. File a report through the FDA Safety Reporting Portal.
