The product comes in a 4-ounce, clear, plastic clamshell container. Information about the “best by” date, lot number, and UPC can be found at the bottom of the package.

Retailers have been instructed to remove all recalled products from store shelves.
Consumers who have purchased the affected lēf Farms “Spice” products should discard them or present a photo of the product or receipt to their place of purchase for a full refund and then discard.
