The recalled "Green Paradise Basil" was distributed to Food Service Distributors through direct shipping on 12/06/2007 in Southern California, Illinois and Texas.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing revealing evidence of Salmonella in some 1lb units of the basil. Imports of this label ("Green Paradise") have been suspended while FDA and the company continue their investigation as to the source of the problem.
