“Wild Harvest Organic Basil Recall: Cyclospora Contamination Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 5, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/15735-wild-harvest-organic-basil-recall-cyclospora-contamination-risk.

Why it’s dangerous

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness. Contaminated basil may lead to infection, especially for those with compromised immune systems or who are pregnant.

Who’s affected

Anyone who purchased Wild Harvest Organic Basil in the listed sizes from stores like Supervalu. People with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness from Cyclospora.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for basil packages with net weights of 2 oz (57g), 0.25 oz (7g), 0.75 oz (21g), or 4 oz (113g). Look for the UPC numbers listed: 11535-50762, 11535-50450, 11535-50322, or 11535-50323. The label should have black ink on a white sticker stating 'Product of Colombia' and '112'.
