"Salmonella found in basil from Mexico" by Bloomberg News | July 12, 2008
WASHINGTON - A strain of salmonella, the bacteria that has sickened more than 1,000 Americans who ate tainted produce since April, has been found in Thai basil grown in Mexico.
The Food and Drug Administration identified salmonella during random testing of basil imported by Lucky Green Trading Inc., a family-run company in Garden Grove, Calif., the agency said yesterday on its website. The product has been recalled from Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada.
FDA officials have boosted inspections of Mexican exports as they look for the origin of the salmonella Saintpaul outbreak that has spread to 42 states since mid-April. While the focus has been on certain types of tomatoes grown in Mexico and Florida, officials said this week that jalapenos caused some illnesses and that Serrano peppers and cilantro also are under investigation. The basil was found to have a different strain of salmonella than the one traced to the current outbreak, an FDA spokesman said.
No illnesses have been linked to Lucky Green's herbs."--MORE--"
