Wegmans Recalls 3 Veggie Products Over Potential Salmonella

NEW JERSEY — Wegmans Food Markets issued a voluntary recall for three products that may be contaminated with salmonella, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The recalled products contain micro greens, sweet pea leaves and cat grass, which have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, the FDA said. Some of the soil the products were grown in tested positive for salmonella, the administration added.

Health officials haven't reported any infections linked to the items as of Tuesday morning. But Wegmans sold the impacted products in its New Jersey stores. Customers should return the items to the service desk for a full refund, according to Wegmans.

The recall impacts the following products (see the FDA's photos below):

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause severe infection in infants, adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC. Most people with salmonella infection have diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps that begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days, the health agency said.

The CDC added that most people recover from the illness at home within four to seven days, but those who become severely sick might need antibiotics to get better.

Anyone with questions can contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during weekends.
