Fresh basil sold at Trader Joe’s stores has been linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a dozen individuals in seven states have fallen ill from consuming the contaminated basil.
The brand of basil was distributed to 29 states, mainly on the country’s eastern side. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that no Trader Joe’s stores in the western United States sold the affected basil.
