The recall covers 16-ounce jars sold beginning April 3 at Central Market stores across Texas and independent retailers in Austin.
People with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity could suffer a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the dressing, according to the company’s allergy alert published Wednesday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The ongoing outbreak has been tied to one California-based supplier of produce, Coast Citrus Distributors, which used jalapenos from Sinaloa, Mexico.
The recalled product was sold in 16-ounce glass jars with UPC 199284564923. Recalled lot numbers are 69, 86, 108, 113, 116 and 121.
The lot code is on the bottom of the jar. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the product.
“The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the allergen eggs was left off the ingredient list,” according to the alert. “This omission was discovered during an FDA inspection of the facility where the product is bottled.”
Customers who bought the recalled dressing can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions may be directed to the company at 1-855-833-1442 or via email at info@jaimessalsas.com.
The brand’s roots date to 1931, when a Tex-Mex restaurant opened in Austin near the University of Texas and the state Capitol, according to the company’s history. Forty years after its founding, Jaime Tames took over the establishment.
