Trader Joe’s has alerted its customers about the recall of products with a cilantro ingredient that may cause a serious foodborne illness.
In some cases, the affected items are specific to certain states. For example, the 12-ounce, Spicy Thai Style Pasta Salad (sku 74441), was recalled by APPA Fine Foods, which supplied the product to California Trader Joe’s, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department.
The pasta salad, which has sell-by dates of October 31 through November 6, contains cilantro that may be contaminated with salmonella, the government said.
The packages bear the establishment number “P-21030” within the USDA mark of inspection.
Trader Joe’s also voluntarily recalled the following products it says should not be consumed due to the potential for “serious foodborne illness.” The company did not describe the illness:
All stores: Cilantro Dressing (sku 36420) with a sell-by date of February 9, 2011; Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette (sku 80947) with a sell-by date of January 9, 2001.
