The beef flavored bouillon cube products identified above were distributed by Gel Spice throughout the United States to retail locations and distribution centers located in: Alabama; California; Connecticut; Florida; Georgia; Illinois; Indiana; Iowa; Maryland; Michigan; Minnesota; Montana; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; North Carolina; Ohio; Pennsylvania; South Carolina; South Dakota; Texas; Virginia; and Washington.

Out of an abundance of caution and with an emphasis on consumer safety, Gel Spice is issuing this voluntary recall to ensure that consumers are made aware of the potential hazard.  No reports have been received to date of any consumer injuries or complaints.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the beef bouillon flavored cube products containing soy and wheat were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of such soy and wheat.  Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary packaging error that has now been rectified.

Consumers who have purchased the Spice Time and Spice Supreme products identified above are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.  Customers are encouraged to visit Gel Spice’s website (http://recall.gelspice.com) to register to receive a replacement product at no charge.  Customers with questions about the recalled product may also call Gel Spice at 201-354-2203 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, or may e-mail the company at recall@gelspice.com.
