SALINAS, CA - Some fresh cilantro reportedly sold in Arizona is being recalled.
A Central California company is recalling four brands of fresh cilantro because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
A spokesperson from the California Department of Health tells ABC15 the department believes some of the cilantro has been sold in Arizona.
Sabor Farms in Salinas announced the recall Friday.
The recalled cilantro was sold between Jan. 14 and Jan. 28 under the labels Nature's Reward, Ocean Mist, Tanimura & Antle and Queen Victoria.
Sabor Farms says the products were on store shelves in California and several other states.
The company says the contamination was detected in a routine surveillance sample at its Salinas facility. No illnesses have been reported.
Salmonella poisoning is one of the most common food borne illnesses but can be dangerous for those with weak immune systems such as infants and the elderly. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
