Trader Joe's has recalled fresh basil sold in 29 states and Washington, D.C., after a federal investigation linked the product to a dozen cases of salmonella infection in seven states.
So far, one patient among the 12 affected has been hospitalized, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The grocery chain has removed the product from its shelves, but Trader Joe's warned customers to check their kitchens for the Infinite Herbs-brand organic basil sold between Feb. 1 and April 6 — and throw it out. Customers can also return the recalled basil for a full refund, the company said.
