WISCONSIN — Lettuce and salad kits sold in Wisconsin and elsewhere in the Midwest have been recalled due to concerns of listeria contamination.

No illnesses have been reported as of Thursday. However, the Michigan Department of Agriculture detected Listeria in a random sample test of a single package of Revolution Farms Green Sweet Crisp.

The recalled products were sold in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin at stores and distributors including SpartanNash Meijer stores, Bridge St. Market, Kingma’s Market, Fresh Thyme Market Grand Rapids, Fresh Thyme Market Kalamazoo, Horrocks Market Grand Rapids, Doorganics, Cherry Capital Foods, Gordon Food Service, Van Eerden Foodservice, Vine Line Produce, Luna restaurant, Russ’ Commissary, and Pearson Foods Corporation.

Stores have been asked to remove all recalled products from their shelves. Customers who purchased any of the recalled products are urged to discard them or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.

Revolution Farms is cooperating with the Michigan Department of Agriculture's investigation, authorities said.

Listeria can cause serious, sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and immunocompromised populations. Symptoms include a high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

A Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

People with these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
