Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fresh Foods Manufacturing Co. is recalling approximately 8,757 pounds of ready-to-eat salad products sold under the Great to Go by Market District brand. The recall was initiated after the supplier of the romaine lettuce used in these salads notified the company that the lettuce might be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The salads were produced between April 9 and April 12, 2018, and have a short shelf life of four days. While no illnesses have been confirmed, consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

The salads may contain E. coli O157:H7, a bacteria that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration. In some cases, especially in young children and older adults, this infection can lead to a serious type of kidney failure known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for 'Great to Go by Market District' salads with sell-by dates of 04/13/18 through 04/16/18.

  3. Look for establishment number 'P-40211' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product label.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Fresh Food Manufacturing Co. at (412) 967-4551 for further instructions.
