A voluntary recall by Clement Foods Co, based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for Keith Valley brand mustard and Red Boy brand mustard due to Salmonella contamination first issued on December 17, 2024 remains ongoing. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in animals and humans, especially those in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background
The recall was initiated because mustard seeds, an ingredient in the recalled products, tested positive for Salmonella.
This is classified as a Class III recall, meaning that the recalled products are not likely to cause adverse health consequences, however there is still a possibility of it happening.
Distribution
The impacted products were distributed in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in humans. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, appearing six hours to six days after exposure to the bacteria. While most people recover without specific treatment, the infection can be severe, especially for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Commenting on this story, the nation’s leading Salmonella lawyer said, “To minimize the risk of infection I recommend that all consumers follow the recall instructions and dispose of the impacted product properly.”
