People want to know where their food is coming from and what it is made of. For many people, these desires stem from wanting to be as healthy as possible. However, for others their own safety is their main concern.Food allergy awareness has grown over the last few decades. People now know just how dangerous certain foods can be. Peanuts in particular can be deadly. People trust that food manufacturers pay careful attention to their food products to ensure that allergens do not find their way into food.Unfortunately, not all companies take this job seriously. Recently, this has led to a serious food contamination, product recall and potential consumer injury. According to reports, a spice sent to stores around the country has been contaminated with peanuts.According to the Food and Drug Administration, products made with the spice cumin have been cross contaminated with peanuts. Many products containing the spice \u2014 including seasoning mixes, chilies and black beans \u2014 now contain trace amounts of the peanut protein. This could be very dangerous to those that are highly sensitive to peanut proteins. The contamination was first discovered by a Texas company that used the spice, but has spread to several more companies across the nation. On Feb. 13, another company recalled black beans and black bean soup for peanut contamination because of the contaminated cumin.When a dangerous product \u2014 like allergy contaminated food\u2013 leads to injuries, the manufacturer may be held liable under\u00a0product liability\u00a0laws. People who have been injured by dangerous or negligently manufactured products should understand their legal rights.Source:\u00a0LA Weekly, \u201cMultiple Companies Recall Cumin Products For Possible Peanut Contamination,\u201d Samantha Bonar, Feb. 23, 2015."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.troyburchlaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cumin Contaminated with Peanuts Leads to Product Recall","item":"https:\/\/www.troyburchlaw.com\/blog\/cumin-contaminated-with-peanuts-leads-to-product-recall\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
