Swanson Health Products and its supplier, B & M Inc. of Mount Vernon, MO, are recalling whole organic celery seed because it may be contaminated with Salmonella.
B & M’s O Organics-brand celery seed is sold at all Safeway-owned stores, including Safeway, Carrs, Dominick’s, Genuardi’s, Pak ‘N Save, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb and Vons.
Swanson’s celery seed is sold at its retail store in North Dakota, over the Internet or by mail-order.
In separate news releases late Friday, the companies said they were alerted to the problem by B & M’s supplier, which they did not identify. Routine sampling had returned a test positive for Salmonella, according to B & M.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the O Organics Celery seed, which was sold at stores from May 25, 2011, through Dec. 16, 2011.
