Recall #F-0524-2018 · Initiated 2017-12-07

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon packages with "no added salt" on the front label are being recalled because they actually contain sea salt, which isn't accurately reflected on the front label. The ingredient list on the back correctly lists sea salt, but the front label claim is misleading.

Who is at risk

People who avoid salt for health reasons (such as those with high blood pressure or on sodium-restricted diets) and people with salt sensitivities should be concerned.

What to do

If you purchased this product and avoid salt, do not use it and return it to the store for a refund. Check your pantry for Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon in the 2.4 oz paper sleeve with 8 foil-wrapped cubes—this recall applies nationwide to all packages of this product.
