Bagged Italian parsley recalled over potential Salmonella contamination

Plain-English summary

Conventional Italian Parsley, sold as 4 bags of 24 bunches per case under the Pacific Straight From The Fields Fresh Herbs carton label from Pacific International Marketing of Salinas, California, is being recalled over potential contamination with Salmonella.

The recall covers 160 cases, each holding four bags of 24 bunches, from lot 25SAFPRIS56. The product was distributed in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada and Ohio.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, its most serious category, used where there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

Parsley is typically eaten raw, so anyone holding an affected bunch should not eat it and should follow the retailer's instructions.
