A Dearborn, Michigan food company is recalling some of its ground black pepper because it may be contaminated with salmonella.
UBC Food Distributors of Dearborn, Mich., is recalling 7-ounce containers of Baraka Ground Black Pepper distributed nationwide at retail, the Food and Drug Administration said in an alert Monday.
The company was notified of the potential for salmonella contamination by Michigan state officials after the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets got a positive test result from a routine state surveillance sample, the FDA said.
Infection from the bacteria salmonella can lead to symptoms including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Severe infections – symptoms may include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, blood in the urine or stool – can lead to hospitalization and even death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the product, the FDA said. UBC stopped production of the product while the FDA and company continued its investigation into the contamination source.
