A recent salmonella outbreak has been linked to basil that was sold at various Trader Joe's in multiple states.

The FDA Reports that, "Trader Joe’s has already voluntarily removed all Infinite Herbs-brand organic basil packed in 2.5-oz clamshell packaging from their store shelves and this product should no longer be available for sale to customers at their stores".

The spring and summer of 2024 are moving in quickly and more and more people are considering a backyard garden. With the high cost of everything and recalls over various food from stores, it may be a good idea for families to grow their own food. If that is not possible, roadside and local food stands not only support local farmers, it shows people where their food comes from.
