Fresh Finds Ground Black Pepper is being recalled in all 50 states.



Nothing gives a meal the right kick quite like a little ground black pepper. That is, unless the spice comes with a little salmonella, in which case we want nothing to do with it because it’s being recalled by the case load.

Gel Spice Company, Inc. issued a voluntary recall of 16,433 cases of Fresh Finds-Ground Black Pepper after the spice tested positive for salmonella contamination, the Food & Drug Administration announced.


The spice comes in a 3.53-ounce plastic jar and was distributed at Big Lots Stores nationwide, with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii.


The containers come with the Best By Dates of 6/30/17, 7/01/17, 7/02/17, 7/22/17, and 7/23/17 printed on the neck of the bottle. The Fresh Finds brand label includes the UPC Code 4 11010 98290 1.


Gel Spice Company reports there have been no reports of illness related to the product.


The recall was initiated after a sampling by the FDA revealed some of the finished product contained the salmonella bacteria.


Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to dispose of it.
