Whenever I use the word "recalled" in these posts, I always think that it sounds like people are remembering the food and not that it has been recalled for health reasons. "Basil? Yeah, I remember basil, what about it?" Or maybe someone is thinking about Basil Rathbone.

Sorry, I'm a bit loopy today.

5500 pounds of basil grown in Mexico has been recalled for salmonella fears. Top Line Specialty Produce imported the basil and distributed it to stores and restaurants in Texas, Illinois, and Southern California. The brand is Green Paradise, and the recall affects one pound boxes (sold in sets of 12) with the lot # 1219.
