The Food and Drug Administration warns Trader Joe's customers in dozens of states to throw out fresh basil after a federal investigation linked the product to a salmonella outbreak.

The company recalled more than 60,000 pounds of the soup. Customers who received an impacted product should throw them out or return them to a Trader Joe's location for a full refund.

Trader Joe's said its falafel could have rocks in it. It issued recalls recently for two types of cookies for the same reason. It's also recalling broccoli cheddar soup that may contain insects.

Grocers from Aldi to Trader Joe's are pitching financial incentives to their employees to encourage them to get vaccinated.

The grocery store chain has carried product lines such as Trader José's and Trader Ming's. Critics say the branding employs racial stereotypes.
