McCormick recalls seasoning products due to Salmonella concern

McCormick & Company is recalling three of its seasoning products because of possible contamination with Salmonella bacteria, according to the Rhode Island Department of Health.

The three products are McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning (both 1.31- and 2.25-ounce bottles), McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning (1.75-pound bottle), and Frank's RedHot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning (153-gram bottle), the Health Department says.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the Health Department.
