Recall Details
The voluntary recall affects Whole Foods' Organic Asian-Inspired Chopped Salad Kit, which is sold in stores across the United States. The product in question is packaged in clear plastic containers weighing 13 ounces (369 grams). The recall specifically applies to products with a "best-by" date falling within a certain range, typically printed on the package.
Reasons for the Recall
Whole Foods initiated the recall due to concerns over potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause severe illness in certain individuals. Listeria infection, known as listeriosis, primarily affects pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
