E. coli cases lead to a recall covering 97K pounds of salad products
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | November 22, 2019 | The Miami Herald

Posted on 11/22/2019 10:43:53 AM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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."

Yeah, that’s a good idea on paper, but if they’re used to dropping trou in the size fields they pick in Mexico when the urge suddenly hits, do you think they’ll have any compunction about it here if the Port-A-Potty is a hundred yards away? Those are big fields on those farms. Better safe than sorry.

I saw it on several southern TX vegetable farms, and in parts of California’s Central Valley a few years ago, while driving cross-country. Not saying it’s everywhere, but I was surprised not to see any PPs when the fields were full of workers.

“I try to remember to wash everything from ‘fresh’ produce “

Does running water over lettuce remove E-Coli bacteria?

Nice promo Diana, and the puppy behaving himself so beautifully. Great picture! People without land an always do container gardening too. Works great for lettuces and herbs.

We get more vegetables from Mexico where the workers fertilize and water, if you know what I mean, while they pick

Well, I haven’t gotten sick yet, so there must be something to my process that works.

Yeah, well, hard working and self-sufficient, as well as being a cheap date who is happy with ONE Martini, HAS gotten me through this world so far! ;)

Speaking of Vodka - it's Friday Night! I'd better do my part to keep the Wisconsin Potato Growers in business! ;)

It’s almost always salad.

Honestly it discourages me from eating it.

Sometimes it’s ground beef - but if well cooked it’s killed.

Salad, all the time.

So walked in to my Walmart that wasn’t in the recall area and they pulled all the romaine lettuce off the shelves and the store clerk said the recall went out wrong and the affected products are much more than what was listed on the initial announcement.

I ate some of that last night, I pray I don’t get sick.

I’m open to a better solution. Clorox and dish detergent and a long soak works for us. If you have a better treatment, I’d love to hear it.

The best way to have safe lettuce is to grow your own. Commercial irradiated lettuce is not widely available. Other than that if you insist on eating lettuce make sure your immune system is tip top.
