MASSIVE LOCAL SEASONING RECALL

The National Consumer Commission has announced that a public recall of several of the Cape Herb & Spice grinder products must take place.

The public recall is because “some of its grinders aren’t grinding as they should” according to a Cape Town Herb & Spice statement.

“The issue involves a potential defect in the mechanism of the grinders, which may result in plastic pieces breaking off and being released during use.”

The Cape Town-based company apologised for any inconvenience caused and said the recall was initiated from their side to ensure consumer confidence and quality control.

The affected products that form part of the recall are:

Black Peppercorns (185g)

Sea Salt (360g)

Pink Salt (390g)

Rainbow Pepper (175g)

Sweet & Smokey BBQ (230g)

Sizzling Steakhouse (230g)

Seasoned Salt (240g)

Salt & Pepper (310g)

Chilli & Garlic (190g)

While the list of affected products is long, the Cape Herb & Spice company confirmed that none of its other grinder products are affected by the same issue.

In the statement, Cape Herb & Spice Managing Executive Paul Jibson said the company “takes this matter very seriously and is committed to resolving it swiftly and responsibly”.

The NCC said it “urges consumers in possession of these spices to immediately stop using them and return them to the supplier of point of purchase for a full refund”.
