What to do about Food safety

Indian Kitchen Mart — This product was withdrawn on a food safety ground. The lot codes listed are what define the recall — identical packs from other runs are unaffected.

  1. Stop eating it and check the codes on your pack against the identifiers listed on this page.
  2. Wash anything it touched, and clean the shelf it was stored on if the pack has leaked.
  3. Check the freezer and pantry for other packs from the same codes.
  4. If anyone is unwell after eating it, call a clinician and mention the recall by name.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
