**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** \- December 16, 2011 - B&M, Inc. of Mount Vernon, Missouri is voluntarily recalling **O Organics Organic Celery Seed**sold in Safeway stores due to potential *Salmonella* contamination. The product is sold at all Safeway-owned stores, including Safeway, Carrs, Dominick’s, Genuardi’s, Pak ‘N Save, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb and Vons.

Healthy persons infected with *Salmonella* often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with *Salmonella* can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

O Organics Organic Celery Seed is packaged in a glass bottle with a net weight of 1.8oz (51g) and marked with a UPC 0-7989341124-8\. The product was sold at stores from May 25, 2011, through December 16, 2011\. Bottles with the following lot codes and “Best By” dates are subject to the recall:
