2.5oz Organic Basil Recall Statement

April 17, 2024

Dear valued consumers and community,

I’m sorry to tell you that we are voluntarily recalling select 2.5-oz packages of fresh organic basil sold between February 1 and April 6, 2024 with UPC 8 18042 02147 7 because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.

Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we take matters like these very seriously. According to the CDC, 12 illnesses are associated with this recall to date. I am heartbroken at the thought that any item we sold may have caused illness or discomfort. We simply will not rest until we can once again be confident in the safety of this product.

Below are photos of the front and back packages of the product in question.

Fresh basil naturally wilts and expires after five to seven days, so we are confident that the recalled basil is no longer available for sale. However, if you have food in your freezer that includes Infinite Herbs organic basil purchased between February 1 and April 6, do not consume it.

All farms we source from must comply with U.S. food safety regulations, meet buyer requirements, and submit documentation verifying food safety practices. We sourced the recalled basil from a single farm, which is no longer in production, and we are working with the farmer to conduct an internal investigation of the food safety practices. Through this investigation, our goal is to determine the cause of this recall and apply measures to prevent it from happening again.

Your safety and satisfaction are of utmost importance to us, and we deeply regret any concerns this may have caused. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at 305-599-9255 x148, M-F, 8:30 am—4:30 pm Eastern Time, or via email at customer_service@infiniteherbs.com.
Sincerely,

Grego Berliavsky
