Publix Super Markets is voluntarily recalling four kinds of seasoning mixes that may be contaminated with salmonella.
Publix said it has taken the mixes off of its shelves and says shoppers can return them to the stores for a full refund. The Lakeland-based grocery store chain has 1,012 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
Publix Spokeswoman Maria Brous said in a statement there have been no reported cases of illness with these products.
The mixes were made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein supplied by Basic Food Flavors, which is based in Las Vegas.
Consumers who eat products tainted with salmonella could suffer serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly young children, frail or elderly persons and others with weakened immune systems.
The recalled products include:
* All lot codes for 0.75 ounce packs of Publix Mushroom Gravy mix with the UPC 41415-03308.
* 1 ounce packages of Publix Meatloaf Seasoning, UPC 41415-03408.
* 1.45 ounce packets of Publix Beef Flavored Stew Mix, UPC 41415-03608.
* 1 ounce packs of Publix Au Jus Gravy Mix with UPC 41415-04208.
A flavor-enhancing hydrolyzed vegetable protein recalled Thursday due to possible salmonella contamination is among the ingredients.
Consumers who have purchased the products can also call the Publix Consumer Relations department at 800-242-1227 or visit its Web site at www.publix.com.
