The recalled packaged salads were sold under the brand names Fresh Express, Bowl and Basket, Giant Eagle, Little Salad Bar, Marketside, O Organics, Signature Farms, Simply Nature, Weis Fresh From the Field and Wellsley Farms Organic. This week, Fresh Express recalled several brands of packaged salad products produced at its Streamwood, Illinois, facility after routine sampling of prepackaged romaine and sweet butter lettuce tested positive for the outbreak strain of listeria. The CDC notes that the true number of people infected with the outbreak strain of listeria is likely higher than the number reported and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses because most people recover without medical care and are not tested for the listeria bacteria. All were hospitalized and one person, in Pennsylvania, died. In the outbreak linked to Fresh Express, ten people in eight states - Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia - were identified in the outbreak between 2016 and late October of this year.
