Two food recalls on opposite ends of the nutrition spectrum are worth noting as you are preparing to make lunch or dinner. Certain Fresh Express salad mixes and frozen White Castle hamburgers have been recalled for possible contamination.
Fresh Express has recalled their Sunflower Crisp Salad Kits for suspected E.coli contamination.This is a different strain from the recent romaine lettuce recall and at least eight people have gotten sick. If salad is not your thing, you might have some frozen White Castle cheeseburger or hamburger sliders in the freezer. Listeria is the concern with the frozen burgers as listeria is a very serious pathogen, but there have been no reported cases of exposure.
You can check the Center for Disease Control’s website to check your sliders to see if they are affected. If you have unfortunately experienced any illness, and you think it could be from a contaminated food product, check with your doctor as your physician will need to report it to the Health Department. The risk of exposure to either product is slim, as they should be off of store shelves or expired by now, but it doesn’t hurt to be aware and check your refrigerator and freezer.
