Voluntary Food Recall - 60 Count Parsley
September 11, 2009: Muranaka Farm, Inc. was notified today that parsley purchased from our company had tested positive for Salmonella Type H.
As a result, the company is immediately implementing a voluntary recall of the 1,005 cases of the 60 count fresh bunched parsley Lot Code 0023909.
"The health of all consumers is of the utmost importance to every employee of our company. With that in mind, even though this product is now past the useable shelf life and no illnesses have been reported, we have taken immediate actions to ensure that all product is accounted for and out of the supply chain. We are working with all of our customers to insure this product is no longer being distributed." said Greg Emi, President, Muranaka Farm, Inc.
Because of Muranaka Farm's trace recall program the company was able to immediately determine which customers purchased the product in question. Muranaka's food safety protocols also ensure the company was able to determine the amount of cases harvested, the crew harvesting the product, and the field on which the parsley was grown and harvested.
Muranaka Farm is asking all customers to confirm the disposition of the product and to destroy any remaining product with the lot code 0023909.
