Reason for recall

Live Superfoods was notified of a recall of organic carob powder by their supplier, Earth Circle Organics, on July 23, 2014. Live Superfoods re-packed organic carob powder for further distribution and is also voluntarily recalling this product due to potential Salmonella contamination.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
