JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Double-check what's inside your refrigerator: Some fresh basil could contain some other nasty ingredient.
Southeastern Grocers has issued a voluntary recall for its "SE Grocers Naturally Better Organic Fresh Cut Basil" following the detection of a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of cyclosporiasis include diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss and more.

People are asked to throw it away or return it for a full refund.
Anyone with questions can call the company call center at 844-745-0463 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
