“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,” FDA said.
If you purchased any parsley that is affected by this recall, you should either throw it away or return it to the point of purchase for a refund.
