Officials have implemented a partial import ban on some cilantro from Mexico after unsanitary conditions were documented at farms and packing locations, including feces and toilet paper that were found in fields.
The cilantro in question was shipped out of the state of Puebla, Mexico, from April 1 through Aug. 31, according to an import alert that the Food and Drug Administration posted Monday. The herbs can’t come into the United States without inspections, the alert states.
