When people eat food contaminated with the bacteria, they may develop listeriosis, a disease that, for most people, causes fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Crushing that craving is as easy as 1-2-3. Listeria monocytogenes is found in moist environments and can survive under refrigeration and other food preservation measures, the FDA says. “We remain committed to transparency and providing updates as we learn more during our continuing traceback investigation.” “We will continue to work with our partners and with Fresh Express to determine the source of this outbreak,” said Frank Yiannas, the FDA’s deputy commissioner for food policy and response.

The FDA said the sample result matched the outbreak strain. “Fresh Express has already been in contact with retailers who received the recalled items, instructing them to remove them from store shelves and stop any further shipments to stores from distribution centers and other inventories.” “Fresh Express immediately halted all production at the Streamwood facility and initiated a complete sanitation review,” the company said in a statement. The test was positive for listeria monocytogenes, the company said. The recall comes after the Michigan Department of Agriculture took a random sample test of a package of Fresh Express Sweet Hearts salad mix made at the Streamwood facility.

Fresh Express recalled all packaged salads with product codes Z324 through Z350 because of the outbreak.
