Bakkavor Foods USA Inc. has recalled 36,652 units of Trader Joe's Egg White Salad with Chives (6 oz) and Trader Joe's Old Fashioned Potato Salad (20 oz) because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall was initiated after the company's egg supplier notified them of potential contamination in the boiled eggs used as an ingredient. Consumers should return these products to any Trader Joe's store for a full refund or dispose of them immediately.
The salads may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
