Dunnes Stores recalls Sage and Herbes de Provence because they may contain pieces of blue plastic and large pieces of natural stalk and bark
Why it was recalled
Dunnes Stores is recalling two of its dried herb products, Sage and Herbes de Provence, because the jars may contain pieces of blue plastic along with unusually large pieces of stalk and bark, which together pose a choking hazard.
Dried herbs get sprinkled into dishes in small pinches, so foreign material is genuinely hard to spot before it reaches the plate, and cooking does nothing to soften plastic.
