Product Quality or Packaging Complaint

Call or text McCormick Consumer Care at 1-800-632-5847 for concerns involving:

• Damaged, open, leaking or incorrectly sealed packaging
• Unexpected appearance, odor, texture or flavor
• A missing seasoning packet or incomplete product
• An incorrect product inside the package
• A foreign object or suspected contamination
• A product that appears stale or spoiled before its best-by date
• An incorrect or unreadable label

Stop using a product that appears unsafe. Keep the package, receipt and remaining product until Consumer Care provides instructions. Do not mail or discard evidence unless McCormick tells you what to do.

Food-Safety or Allergen Concern

For a suspected allergic reaction, undeclared allergen, illness or contamination issue, stop consuming the product and seek appropriate medical assistance. Contact McCormick Consumer Care and provide the complete package information.

Zatarain’s advises consumers to read the ingredient statement each time they purchase a product because formulas can change. McCormick states that major allergens and certain sensitivities are declared on the package rather than hidden under general terms such as “spices” or “natural flavors.” Review the current McCormick allergen information and the label on the specific product.

Missing or Discontinued Product

Use McCormick’s discontinued-product list to check whether a specific Zatarain’s flavor or package has been retired. If it is still active, open the product page and use its Find a Retailer option.

Retail inventory can change, so call the store before making a special trip. A local store manager may also be able to explain whether the item is temporarily out of stock or can be specially ordered.

Cooking or Preparation Question

Check the package instructions and the official Zatarain’s FAQ page. The FAQs cover cooking multiple packages, ingredient questions, nutrition information, product availability, best-by dates and other common issues.

Online Order Problem

For an order placed directly through the McCormick online store, call 1-800-292-3999. This number is separate from general product Consumer Care.

Online order support can assist with:

• Order status and tracking
• Damaged shipments
• Missing or incorrect items
• Payment errors
• Cancellation requests
• Eligible returns and refunds

McCormick states that online store charges appear as SHOP MCCORMICK on a payment-card statement. Contact order support promptly if the charge does not match a purchase you recognize.

How to Report a Zatarain’s Product Complaint

1. Stop using the product if there may be a safety or quality problem.
2. Save the original package and any remaining product.
3. Photograph the front, back, damaged area, UPC, best-by date and production code.
4. Locate the receipt or record the store, purchase date and approximate price.
5. Call or text 1-800-632-5847.
6. Explain what happened and when the package was opened or prepared.
7. Ask whether McCormick needs additional photographs or product information.
8. Record the case number and promised next step.

Do not send the product to the former Zatarain’s address or McCormick headquarters without instructions. Consumer Care may need specific photographs, packaging codes or handling procedures.

Zatarain’s Ingredients and Allergen Information

Zatarain’s products can have different ingredients and allergen statements. A claim appearing on one rice mix, seasoning, seafood boil or frozen entrée does not automatically apply to another product.

McCormick states that its labels declare the following allergens and sensitivities when present:

• Wheat and other gluten-containing grains
• Milk and milk products
• Peanuts and tree nuts
• Egg
• Soy
• Shellfish and fish
• Sesame
• Yellow Dye No. 5
• Monosodium glutamate or MSG
• Sulfites over 10 parts per million

Always rely on the label attached to the package being prepared. Contact Consumer Care if a specific ingredient is a medical concern or if the label appears incomplete, damaged or inconsistent with the product.

Zatarain’s Best-By Dates and Shelf Life

Zatarain’s places best-by dates on its packages. According to its current FAQs, a product without a best-by date should be treated as past its recommended shelf life and discarded.

A best-by date generally concerns expected product quality and is different from a product recall. Contact Consumer Care if a sealed product appears spoiled, damaged or abnormal before the date printed on the package.

Zatarain’s Online Returns and Refunds

McCormick’s online store refund policy applies to orders placed directly through its website. It does not automatically control returns for products purchased at a supermarket, warehouse club or another retailer.

For eligible online-store returns:

• The return must generally be handled within 30 days after the shipment is received.
• Proof of purchase is required.
• Products normally must be new and unused unless support provides different instructions.
• Return shipping or a restocking fee may apply to a change-of-mind return.
• Damaged shipments require photographs of the shipping carton and product.
• Do not discard a damaged online order until support provides written authorization.

Review the current McCormick refund and return policy before shipping anything.

Products Purchased From a Grocery Store

For a Zatarain’s product purchased at a grocery store or another retailer, the available refund may depend on the retailer’s policy and the nature of the complaint. Keep the receipt and packaging. Contact McCormick Consumer Care for a manufacturing, ingredient, packaging or food-safety concern, and contact the retailer for an ordinary return or store-service issue.

How to Check for Zatarain’s Recalls

Recall information can change and may identify products by package size, UPC, best-by date or lot code. Check the FDA recalls and safety alerts and McCormick’s official website.

If a package matches a recall notice, follow the notice exactly. Do not consume the product simply because it appears normal. Save the notice, product code and proof of purchase when requesting a replacement or refund.

How to Escalate a Zatarain’s Complaint

1. Start with McCormick Consumer Care at 1-800-632-5847.
2. Provide the UPC, best-by date, lot code, retailer and purchase date.
3. Describe the product problem and any safety concern clearly.
4. State the resolution requested, such as product information, replacement, refund review or safety investigation.
5. Ask for a case number and save photographs and correspondence.
6. Follow up using the existing case number.
7. Request additional Consumer Care review if the documented concern remains unresolved.

For written corporate correspondence, McCormick & Company lists its headquarters at 24 Schilling Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21031. Do not mail food, packaging or medical records to the corporate address without instructions.
