State health officials say one lot of cilantro is being voluntarily recalled because of potential salmonella contamination was distributed at some Wal-Mart stores in southern Colorado.

Frontera Produce of Edinburg, Texas, says the product was distributed to Wal-Mart stores in the Alamosa, Trinidad, La Junta, Cortez and Durango areas.

State health officials say people who bought the cilantro between July 20 and July 27 should check their refrigerators and toss it or return it.

The product's lot number is 118122. The cilantro bunches have a white twist tie with pink lettering spelling the word 'cilantro' and the UPC number 033383801049.
