Trader Joe's Recall: Kale, Edamame Salads Pulled for Salmonella Concerns

The salads' suppliers issued the voluntary recall Tuesday.

Food supplier WCD Kitchen announced Tuesday it was voluntarily recalling its Trader Joe's Kale Edamame Salad because the product could be contaminated with salmonella, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The 3,763 salads possibly affected were only sent to stores throughout the Midwest, including Illinois and surrounding states. No illnesses caused by contaminated salads have been reported so far, the FDA says.

WCD initiated the recall after its supplier, Pearson Foods Corp., found kale that tested positive for salmonella.
