Orval Kent recalls products that contain cilantro

By Drew Falkenstein

Orval Kent announced today that it is voluntarily recalling 23 products as a precautionary measure because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella. The Orval Kent products are being recalled because they contain fresh cilantro produced and distributed by EpicVeg, Inc. of Lompoc, California.  Epic Veg recalled one lot of cilantro on November 3, 2010.

Also caught up in the cilantro problem is APPA Fine Foods, which recalled 7,325 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken pasta salad it makes for the Trader Joe's retail chain. Trader Joe's said it was also removing cilantro salad dressing and dip -- those products came from Orval Kent.

Orval Kent products affected total 43,814 lb. The recalled products were distributed at retail stores nationwide.
