Following a Listeria-related recall by its parent company Club Chef, involving freshcut produce snacks, CC Kitchens LLC today recalled more than a ton of salads because they contained lettuce that had been recalled for possible Listeria contamination.
CC Kitchens Club Chef and also today the Kroger Co. posted recalls of several additional CC Kitchens salads because of potential Listeria contamination. Several varieties of Kroger’s Fresh Selections freshcut produce snack packs were included in the Club Chef recall, which was spurred because the company found Listeria in a production facility.
No illnesses had been reported in connection with any of the recalled foods, as of the posting of the recall notices. The recalled products have short shelf lives, but some of their use-by and sell-by dates extend through June 12.
The CC Kitchens recall of 2,415 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry lettuce salads posted today by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported the products were produced and packaged on various dates between May 31 and June 5. Those products have a six-day shelf life.
There is concern consumers who bought the salads from retailers in Ohio, Michigan and West Virginia may still have unused portions in their homes.
“Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” according to the CC Kitchens recall notice. “When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.”
