LUCKY GREEN TRADING, INC. of Garden Grove, CA recalled Thai Basil, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which 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. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Thai Basil was distributed through retail stores and direct delivery to customers in Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada on June 30, 2008. The product was shipped in 14 LB cardboard cartons with 12 individual packages weighting approximately 1.2 LB each in clear, unmarked, plastic bags. The exterior cartons were labeled 16 DE SEPTIEMBRE S/N SANTA ROSA TAPACHULA NAYARIT, C.P. 63731 - Thai Basil - and also had an attached sticker with Airway Bill #027 1947 0861.
