| ■ Fresh Express Romaine Lettuce Salad Products Recalled | 2010.07.16 |
| Possible E. coli contamination has prompted a voluntary recall of Fresh Express romaine lettuce salad products. The California-based company said the recall covers products that have use-by dates of July 8, July 9, July 10, July 11 and July 12, and have an "S" in the product code, MSNBC.com reported. The products were distributed in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Washington and Nevada. Customers with the products should discard them. For more information, call Fresh Express at (800) 242-5472. No illnesses have been reported in association with the recall, which was announced after a random test by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration detected E. coli in one package of Fresh Express Hearts of Romaine, MSNBC.com reported. In May, Fresh Express recalled romaine ready-to-eat salads due to possible salmonella contamination. |
