This update does not apply to any Markon First Crop, Ready-Set-Serve, or Markon Essentials products.

Shenandoah Growers, Inc has issued a voluntary recall of approximately 3240 units of branded fresh cut, packaged organic basil clamshells packed at its Indianapolis, Indiana location due to a possible health risk from Cyclospora. The affected product has a country of origin of Colombia and was harvested entirely from Puerto Vallarta Herbs SAS and imported by Vallarta Organics LLC dba Organic Destiny.

This recall notification is being issued due to a single instance in which a sample of bulk product was pulled at the port of entry in Miami and tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of routine surveillance and indicated the potential presence of Cyclospora.

No illnesses have been reported to date. A table of the affected lot codes can be found on the FDA website.

Attached for your review is the FDA press release.

Markon will update members as more information becomes available.
