The FDA is advising processors and repackers that Majestic International Spice Corporation of Montebello, California is voluntarily recalling its dried “Extra Fancy Basil” spice in 12.5 kilogram bags because FDA found the product contaminated with Salmonella Blockley.
FDA is issuing this advisory because we are concerned that the firm has not adequately alerted its consignees to the problem.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. The company has ceased the distribution of the product in question.
