An E. coli outbreak led to a recall covering 22 states and 97,272 pounds of ready-to-eat salad sold at Domino's Pizza and a list of grocers that includes Walmart, Target, Aldi, Albertsons and Giant Eagle.
The lettuce is the potential E. coli carrier in the salads made by New Jersey company Missa Bay, all of which are listed here.
Missa Bay sold them to food distributors in Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Alabama, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Distributors sold them to retailers and they hit the shelves as the store brands of Target, Aldi, Walmart, Sam's Club, Albertsons-Safeway-Vons, Giant Eagle and as side salads by Domino's Pizza.
The latest use by date on the recalled salads is Nov. 1, so all should be long gone from shelves. But the concern is some salads could still be in freezers or refrigerators. They should be thrown out or returned for a refund.
A Thursday afternoon email from Aldi said, "The two products Aldi sold that were included in this recall, Little Salad Bar Chicken Caesar Salad and Little Salad Bar Santa Fe Style Salad, had been removed from our shelves already and they are past their use-by dates. All of the products currently on our shelves are safe to eat."

The way that the FDA and CDC focus on fresh greens, they are going to make them contraband that cost $100 lb before too long.
I ate a prepared salad from Walmart lst month and got really bad food poisoning...
Big, fat, yuge Mega-PING!
Could be part of the current outbreak. Glad you’re over it.
I won’t be eating any lettuce for awhile. This seems to happen more than it used to.
No wonder vegans always look sick.
So this is a salad bar.
I do not knowingly buy “prepared” vegetables or greens anymore. Too much chance of contamination. Plus I know how to “prepare” greens and veggies. Salads do NOT come from bags at our house.

...but no word on how/when/where the lettuce became contaminated.
Replacement Migration has the new hardcore socialists picking and pooping in Domino’s salads.
Domino’s Pizza, how is that cheap labor working out for you? Killed anyone lately?
I read somewhere that many folks who think they have a stomach flu actually have a mild case of food poisoning.
LOL!
I can see that.
I had read earlier this week the source was in California. Unless that was for a different salad outbreak.
Believe it or not, I try to remember to wash everything from ‘fresh’ produce to the tops of canned goods (including beer) before I use it. You never know who’s disease-smeared fingers were handling it before it got to your kitchen. I’ve heard too many stories of migrant Messicans picking fields of veggies that they relieve themselves in to take a chance and discount them all.
If someone froze a Caesar salad, they’re in for major disappointment when they thaw it out.
Sorry, it was this one I was thinking of:

“There is a fear that some salads could still be in freezers”.
Freezing destroys lettuce and other greens. It only takes one try to learn that lesson.
