# Muranaka Farm Knows Where Parsley Was &amp;amp; Where It&amp;#8217;s Going&amp;#8211;Now Wants It Back

 

 

 ![](http://www.pma.com/goldcircle/logos/Muranaka%20Farm.JPG)Salmonella-related recalls lately have been all over the spice rack. This time, parsley is on the recall list, but no illnesses have yet been associated with it.

Moorpark, CA’s Muranake Farms Inc. is recalling 1,005 cases of 60-count bunched parsley because it may be contaminated with Salmonella.

Muranaka Farm’s has a trace recall program that allows the company to immediately determine which customers purchased all 1,005 cases. 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.

Product was distributed in the following 10 states: Arizona (30 cases), California (574 cases), Colorado (35 cases), Florida (60 Cases), Iowa (3 cases), Illinois (1 case), Missouri (7 cases), Tennessee (5 cases), Texas (278 cases) and Wisconsin (12 cases). These cases were distributed within both retail and foodservice outlets.

The product was shipped in a brown wax carton under the Muranaka Label with a parsley silhouette on the side. The bunches were banded using a red rubber band. The lot code 0023909 is on a sticker on the outside of the carton.

The recall was as the result of a voluntary sampling program conducted in cooperation with the FDA which revealed that the finished products contained the bacteria. Muranaka Farm, Inc. continues to work in cooperation with the FDA on this matter.

Consumers with questions may contact Muranaka Farm, Inc. at 805-529-0201 8AM-PM PST with any questions. We also urge consumers to visit their retailer to determine if the product they have purchased is from Muranaka Farm and is associated with 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 over two weeks old and most likely past the useable shelf life, 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.
