Red Monkey Foods, Inc. out of an abundance of caution is voluntarily recalling select organic parsley as part of a recall initiated by High Quality Organics.
HQO has issued a recall for a lot of parsley because a sample was tested by one of HQO’s customers and was found to be potentially contaminated with Salmonella.
A portion of the lot recalled by HQO was supplied to Red Monkey Foods, Inc and subsequently repacked into consumer containers for parsley and was also used to manufacture herbes de provence which was then sold in consumer containers.
To date, there have been no consumer complaints or reported cases of Salmonellosis in connection with these products.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
The potentially affected product consists of retail packages weighing 0.3-0.65 oz.
No other “Best By” dates are being recalled.
The products in question were distributed to all fifty states and Puerto Rico.
Consumers who have purchased the product with the listed “Best By” dates are urged not to consume the product, but to discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Red Monkey Foods, Inc. is committed to providing food safe, high-quality products and the safety and satisfaction of our consumers is the company’s utmost priority.
Although there have not been any reported cases of Salmonellosis, we are voluntarily recalling the products listed as a preventive measure.
