The recalled basil can be identified by a white sticker with black ink on the back of the container stating: “Product of Colombia” and “112.”
The problem was found when routine testing identified the presence of Cyclospora cayetanensis in samples of Wild Harvest Organic Fresh Basil taken by the FDA. Affected products were distributed to grocery stores in Minnesota, the agency said.
