SACRAMENTO
(August 1, 2007) –
The California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) has determined that fresh
ginger imported from China and recalled on July 27, 2007, by
Christopher Ranch of Gilroy, Calif., was distributed to
Mollie Stone's stores in the Bay Area as well as Albertson's
stores and Save Mart stores in northern California.
The stores have
been notified and have pulled the product from sale.
Customers who purchased this product between July 10, 2007,
