Spice Company Announces Total Recall

It is the ultimate responsibility of manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and companies to make its product and goods safe for consumers.  In case it will fail to do this obligation, the Federal law requires these businesses to pay damages to people who sustained injury after using the defective product.

In the blog, “Public Faces another Salmonella Scare – from Spices”, the author said that food manufacturers should make sure that its products are safe to be consumed, mentioning the case of Union International Food Company which recently recalled its spices due to salmonella contamination.

While the spice manufacturer has done its part to prevent salmonella outbreak, the author said that it should have been more careful in processing its products since more than 30 people have already been hospitalized after consuming the spices.

To prevent such incidents from happening again, it is important that state institutions and local governments should order laboratory testing in consumer products before releasing these to the market.  Meanwhile, stricter penalties can also be an effective deterrent for companies which are not meeting the food safety standard.
