As of now, there have been no reports of illness connected with the salads.

The retail product is sold in plastic containers and is marked with a Use By Date and the #10 at the end of the line of printing.

The bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail people, and elderly people.

Healthy people may just experience some short-term symbols such as high fever, headache, nausea.
