On Friday, the FDA notified about a voluntarily recall of more than 6,000 cartons of cilantro, especially those circulated in the regions of California, Arizona, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Indiana, South Carolina and Missouri.

The recall is believed to have a strong influence from test report where FDA recognized salmonella in a sample of a widely used herb, popularly known as coriander. The recall is announced on precautionary basis, although authorities have failed to recognize any case associated with it.

The experts have warned against its consequences and also warned that it can cast severe impacts on health. Along with causing severe complications, it can even result in fatal complications among children, elderly people as well as people with poor immune system.

High fever, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, nausea and vomiting can be observed as some of its alarming symptoms in case a healthy person gets infected with salmonella virus. In rare cases, the Salmonella infection tends to penetrate into the bloodstream and can cause major health issues, including arterial infections, endocarditic and arthritis.

While briefing the recall, the FDA authorities hailed natives and urged them to return cilantro to the place of purchase in order to avail a complete refund. Besides this, the customers can also seek needed assistance from Pacific International Marketing by simply making a call at 831-755-1398.

Authorities have recognized the problem as a tested specimen was found positive, although there is no reported case of the illness up till now. They suggested the public to remain cautious about the matter.
