(UPDATED Feb. 3)
Four brands of fresh cilantro sold at certain Walmart stores have been recalled because they may be contaminated with salmonella, the nation's biggest retailer said.

Walmart posted a recall alert -- which it does only when a product has been sold at a Walmart or Sam's Club store or their websites. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Sabor Farms of Salinas, Calif. recalled the cilantro after sample tests detected salmonella.

So far, no one has reported getting sick from eating the cilantro. Salmonella can cause a potentially severe illness in young children and those with weakened immune systems, with symptoms including fever, stomach cramps and diarrhea.
