[xtypo_dropcap]J[/xtypo_dropcap] & D Produce Inc., a Texas produce distributor, recalled almost 7,000 cases of cilantro and curly parsley on Monday after discovering salmonella.
The company said samples of cilantro in Michigan and in Quebec, Canada, had tested positive for salmonella, according to CNN. Both were processed in Texas.
The recall pertains to the company’s parsley and cilantro packed between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6, J & D Produce said in a statement. If the herbs have Little Bear brand packaging, they can be taken to retailers for a full refund.
The recall involves 4,411 cases of cilantro that were sent to Quebec, Ontario, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.
It also includes 2,498 cases of parsley that were distributed in Quebec, Ontario, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island, according to CNN.
No one has reported becoming sick after eating the herbs, according to J & D Produce.
In addition to J & D Produce’s parsley and cilantro recall, alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts from Tiny Greens Organic Farm in Illinois are also associated with salmonella, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with preliminary investigation results suggesting a link with a multistate outbreak of the infection.
