Last year, Trader Joe's had a bad run of recalls. Now, the FDA and CDC are getting involved after some of the store's basil is linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak.

The grocery store chain announced Wednesday it is recalling Infinite Herbs Organic Basil sold in 2.5 ounce packages between February 1 and April 6 of this year across 29 states and Washington, D.C.

Twelve people across seven states were infected with salmonella, and one person has been hospitalized, according to the CDC. At least seven cases were linked to the basil.

The FDA also says Miami-based supplier Infinite Herbs may have been involved in getting the basil on shelves.

Here is where Trader Joe's customers may have been impacted:
