Cyclospora contamination causes a recall at Winn-Dixie, Fresco Y Mas, Harvey’s, BI-LO
The discovery of cyclospora on basil caused the recall of half-ounce containers of SE Grocers Naturally Better Organic Fresh Cut Basil across the Southeastern Grocers chains.
Lot Nos. PV64308A300 and PV64308C296 with a UPC No. 6-07880-20230-4 have been yanked from all Winn-Dixie, Fresco y Mas, Harveys and BI-LO supermarkets.
The CDC describes symptoms of cyclospora infection as including “watery diarrhea (most common); loss of appetite; weight loss; cramping; bloating; increased gas; nausea; and fatigue.” Without treatment, these maladies can hang around for a month or longer.
Anyone with the basil should either toss it or return it to the store for a full refund.
