State Garden Salad Mixes Recalled

Chelsea, MA: State Garden is conducting a recall of all Salad products produced in their plant on January 4, 2011 which correspond to trace back codes 45693 and 45703 due to a risk of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

Salad Products and Blends under this recall were distributed to retail stores on the East Coast under various sizes and packaged under the brand names: Gold Quality, Hannaford, Natures Place, Natures Promise, Roche Bros, Northeast Fresh, Noreast Fresh, Olivia's Organics, Signature, Wegmans. A comprehensive lis of specific salad product, size, package type and UPC codes is available through the link below.

The trace back code numbers (45693 and 45703) are typically located in the upper right hand corner of labels and bags. The "best if used by" date will be no later than January 15, 2011 for either trace back code.
