The details: Another brand has been added to the growing list of recalled basil products packaged alongside the Spice Kingdom dried Egyptian basil, on the suspicion of being contaminated with salmonella bacteria. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warns consumers to toss any Valli brand basil flakes they purchased on or after February 23 of this year.
