Parsley, Sushi Items Recalled Due To Health Concerns

 

khts_recallsLocal producers and distributors of parsley and rice cakes have voluntarily recalled certain lots of their products due to concerns about Salmonella and allergies.

 

 

Parsley – Muranaka Farm, Inc. of Moorpark, is recalling 1005 cases of 60 count bunched parsley (574 of them in California), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which 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 (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. As a result, the company is immediately implementing a voluntary recall of the 1,005 cases of the 60 count fresh bunched parsley Lot Code 0023909.

These cases were distributed within both retail and foodservice outlets. The product was shipped in a brown wax carton under the Muranaka Label with a parsley silhouette on the side. The bunches were banded using a red rubber band. The lot code 0023909 is on a sticker on the outside of the carton.  No reports of illness have been reported.

Consumers with questions may contact Muranaka Farm, Inc. at 805-529-0201 8AM-PM PST with any questions. We also urge consumers to visit their retailer to determine if the product they have purchased is from Muranaka Farm and is associated with Lot Code 0023909.
