Organic Spices, Inc., based in Fremont, California, has initiated a voluntary recall of its “spicely ORGANIC celery salt.” The recall was triggered after it was discovered that the product packaging is mislabeled.

The recall involves 391 cases, totaling 4,692 individual jars. The affected products were distributed to retailers in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
