Dole Brand Parsley Recall

KingstonsMom · ‎03-09-2010

Dole is voluntarily recalling a limited number of cases of its curly leaf parsley.

"On Sept. 10, Dole announced it's voluntarily recalling certain bunches of its Dole® Curly Leaf Parsley in a notice also posted by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The product, which has harvest dates of August 18, 2021, and August 19, 2021, was distributed to retailers, wholesalers, and distributors. If you bought a bunch of Dole curly parsley recently, look for the price look-up (PLU) number on the twist-tie binding the herb. The affected batches have PLU number 4899 and a UPC code of 0 3383 80330 0.

"Consumers who have any product with these UPC/PLU Product Codes should not consume it, but rather discard it," the company says in the recall notice, pointing out that no other curly leaf parsley products are affected."

If some of you, like me, want to know WHY the parsley is being recalled, it's because it may contain a non-0157 shiga-toxin producing E. coli.

Ummmm..... that's why there is a LINK in the post to the FDA article about the recall explaining why, see how the words "voluntary recall" are in blue, click there and it takes you to the FDA article.

Some of us do not like clicking on LINKS, which is why I included the reason in my post.

In which case posters can always do their own search for the info mentioned, no click needed.

Shiga Toxin E. coli....the kind of E. coli that produces a toxin that can cause kidney failure and death. You can not rinse this off. Do not eat this stuff. There's too much water runoff from cattle in the Salinas Valley. Farmers there have been working on a solution, but it has not been an easy fix. This recall if for a strain of E. coli that is shiga toxin producing but is not the strain 0157.

The Curly Leaf Parsley subject to this Recall was distributed in FL, IA, MI, MN, and MO.
