What happened

Kerry Foods is recalling a large container of nacho seasoning (NACHO SEAS item 10686.482) because it may contain small metal fragments. This is a voluntary recall affecting products distributed across multiple U.S. states and some international locations.

Who is at risk

Restaurants, food service businesses, and retailers in the affected states who purchased this 50-pound bulk container should be concerned, as this was a commercial-sized product.

What to do

If you operate a food business and purchased this specific item number (10686.482) in the affected regions, stop using it immediately and contact Kerry Foods. Consumers who purchased finished nacho products should check packaging for the item number—most retail products would not use this bulk ingredient directly.
