Publix Super Markets recalls some seasoning mixes

LAKELAND, Fla. - Publix Super Markets, which has more than 1,000 stores in five Southern states, has voluntarily recalled four kinds of seasoning mixes that may possibly be contaminated with salmonella. <br /> <br /> Publix says it has taken the store-brand mixes off of its shelves. Shoppers may return them for a full refund. <br /> <br /> The grocery store operator said late Monday that the mixes were made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein supplied by Basic Food Flavors, which is based in Las Vegas. <br /> <br /> Consumers who eat products tainted with salmonella could suffer serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly young children, frail or elderly persons and others with weakened immune systems. <br /> <br /> Spokeswoman Maria Brous says there have been no reported cases of illness with these products.
