Meijer Recalls Premade Salads Due To Possible Listeria Contamination

If your idea of a perfect meal includes a premade salad from retailer Meijer, you may want to reconsider due to a potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall is part of a broader Revolution Farms lettuce recall and includes the Fresh From Meijer premade salads. There are six known states that are recalling their product including: Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. 

There are currently no known illnesses reported from any Meijer brand salad products included in this recall.

Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems.  

Symptoms include: high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. 

If customers would like a refund they may make a request at the Meijer Customer Service desk at their nearest location. If you have ingested this product and show symptoms, visit your physician immediately.
