Summary

Salinas, CA (October 28, 2025) - Pacific International Marketing (“Pacific”) is recalling 474 cases of bulk Italian Parsley because it may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
