Meijer, in conjunction with its supplier, Revolution Farms, is recalling select Fresh From Meijer premade salads because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

This is part of a broader Revolution Farms lettuce recall and includes premade salads carried at Meijer stores in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Meijer is not aware of any illnesses from Meijer brand salad products included in this recall.

Last week Caledonia, MI-based Revolution Farms recalled all products sold under the Revolution Farms brand. All date codes were included in this recall because of the potential to be contaminated with Listeria.

The primary recall was initiated when the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development received a positive result for Listeria in a random sample test of a package of Revolution Farms Green Sweet Crisp five-ounce retail with best-by date of April 2. The recall was expanded when the recalled product was epidemiologically linked with a multi-state outbreak of Listeriosis. The investigation is ongoing.

As with Meijer, the recalled products were sold to the following retailers and foodservice distributors in the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin: SpartanNash stores, Bridge St. Market, Kingma’s Market, Fresh Thyme Market Grand Rapids, Fresh Thyme Market Kalamazoo, Horrocks Market Grand Rapids, Doorganics, Cherry Capital Foods, Gordon Food Service, Sysco, Van Eerden Foodservice, Vine Line Produce, Luna restaurant, Russ’ Commissary and Pearson Foods Corp.

The recalled products are no longer available for sale and no illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated when it was learned a random sample test of a single salad kit with a Use-By Date of March 31 collected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture yielded a positive result for the Listeria pathogen.

Recalled salad items all carry Product Code GO75 and Use-By Dates of March 31 or April 2, 2023 located on the front of the package. They were distributed through retailers in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

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 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.
