Kofinas Olive Oil product recall in the US

Overview

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a voluntary recall for Garlic Mediterranean Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced by Cincinnati-based LMSI LLC/Kofinas Olive Oil. The recall was prompted by the presence of a garlic essential oil that is not approved for culinary use.

The affected products, which originate from Crete, Greece, were sold in 100 ml, 250 ml, and 500 ml glass bottles. Distribution included the company’s website and specific retail locations in Cincinnati, Ohio, such as Findlay Market and Montgomery Store & Infusion Kitchen, with distribution occurring between August 31, 2025, and August 27, 2026.

As of the latest reports, no illnesses have been linked to the consumption of the oil. The FDA has advised consumers to monitor for signs of allergic reactions or foodborne illness, such as fever, nausea, or vomiting, and to refrain from using the product for cooking. Individuals exhibiting symptoms are advised to contact a physician immediately.
