A week after a big recall of Little Bear Brand leafy greens, root vegetables and herbs, salmonella contamination is prompting a related recall.

Boncheff Greenhouses, of Toronto, is issuing a voluntary recall on cilantro, curly parsley, and Italian parsley sold and distributed in New York and Pennsylvania between Dec. 14 and Dec. 28, including to Wegmans Food Markets throughout New York (except Corning, Elmira, Ithaca and Johnson City) and to two stores in Erie, Pa.

Salmonella often causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain; those with weakened immune systems, and the very young and old, are most at risk for more serious or even deadly infections.

The recalled products include these Wegmans brand .25-ounce poly sleeve herb packs:

• Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Cilantro (UPC: 6-25647-80104)
• Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Curly Parsley (UPC: 6-25647-80110)
• Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Italian Parsley (UPC: 6-25647-80125)

And the recall includes Boncheff Brands Italian Parsley Lot code 1002387 sold in the following five stores:

• Budwey Kenmore, 416 Kenmore Avenue Buffalo, NY 14223, 716-362-2350
• Budwey Division Street North Tonawanda, NY 14150, 716-693-2802
• Wades Market 6179 Rt.96 Farmington, NY 14564, 585-924-3667
• Cuba Giant Food Market 44 Park Avenue Wellsville, NY 14895, 585-968-2360
