The Zatarains plant in Gretna, LA was contacted by General Mills to inform the plant that they were impacted by General Mills flour recall. Fifty (50) bags of WONDRA ENR 50 UNMALTED were shipped to Gretna in March 2016. This material has been used in the production of four different Zatarains brand pasta dinner mixes over several processing dates.

Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
