Louisiana Affected By Salad Recall From Houston Based Company
A new week, another food recall. This time the voluntary recall is coming from a Houston based company that has recalled almost a ton of ready to eat salad with chicken. The reason for the recall is the potential for salmonella and listeria that may have contaminated a corn-based product.
Some of the tainted salads from Houston-based GHSW, LLC were sold under the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods label. The USDA says the salads were produced between October 1st of this year and October 18th. The salads that are causing concern are marked with the code P-44056.
So far there has been no reported illness associated with these salads. The salads in question have a stamp that will have a "best by" or "best if sold" date of October 21st or 22nd.
Symptoms of salmonella or listeria include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fever, muscle aches, convulsions, and confusion. Should you or someone you know be experiencing these symptoms after consuming one of the salads in question you'll want to contact your health care provider.
