FDA recalls Williams Sonoma Fireworks Popcorn white cheddar seasoning over possible Salmonella
Shoppers should check their pantry, popcorn kits, and gift boxes for certain consumer-sized white cheddar seasoning products sold with Williams Sonoma Fireworks Popcorn. Jonco Industries has recalled the seasoning because of possible Salmonella contamination, according to the FDA.
The recall covers specific lot codes and package identifiers named in the FDA notice. If you have one of the affected products, stop using it right away and do not serve it. Salmonella can cause serious illness, especially in young children, older adults, pregnant people, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
What products are affected
The FDA notice identifies certain consumer-sized white cheddar seasoning products associated with Williams Sonoma Fireworks Popcorn. Check the full package labeling carefully, including any lot codes, package size, and other identifiers listed by the agency before deciding whether your product is part of the recall.
If you received the popcorn or seasoning as a gift, it is worth checking unopened boxes and holiday sets too. Recall items can end up tucked away in pantry baskets, hostess gifts, and mixed snack assortments.
Why the product was recalled
Jonco Industries recalled the seasoning because of possible Salmonella contamination. The company and the FDA are asking consumers not to eat the product until the affected lots are confirmed and removed from use.
At the time of the FDA notice, no illnesses had been reported. That does not change the action for consumers: if your package matches the recall, do not taste it or use it in a recipe.
What consumers should do now
Do not eat the seasoning and do not use it on popcorn or any other food. If your package matches the recall, follow the company’s instructions in the FDA notice for a refund or disposal. If you are unsure whether your product is included, compare the brand name, product name, lot code, and package details against the FDA recall notice before using it.
If anyone has already eaten the product and develops symptoms of Salmonella infection, contact a healthcare provider and mention the recall.
Quick pantry check
Look in snack baskets, gift boxes, movie-night supplies, and pantry shelves for Williams Sonoma Fireworks Popcorn white cheddar seasoning. This is the kind of product that can be easy to overlook because it may be stored with popcorn kits or saved for a special occasion.
