Just how high a price Caribbean manufacturers and distributors can pay for being either unmindful or indifferent to United States food safety regulations affecting imports into the country is currently being felt by the world-famous Jamaican food distributor Grace products, among others, after several brands of curry powder including Blue Mountain, Jamaica Choice, Ocho Rios, Oriental and Grace Brand were removed from supermarket shelves in the wake of a turmeric recall issued by the New York State Health Department for possible lead contamination. Turmeric is a key ingredient in curry powder. The recalled brands are packaged for the regional distributors Oriental Packaging Company and reports state that a total of 377,000 pounds of curry powder is affected by the recall.
