Salmonella find in grape tomatoes leads to salad recall

Thorntons Inc., Louisville, Ky., is recalling its six ounce Garden Salads and 5.6 ounce Chef Salads because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, according to FDA.

The recalled salads were manufactured and distributed by Greencore U.S.A. to select stores in Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Evansville, Ind., Lexington, Ky., and Nashville.

The product comes in a black bowl with clear lid and is marked with expiration dates Sept. 30, Oct. 2 and Oct. 3 on the label on the front of the package.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The potential for contamination was noted when a lot of grape tomatoes revealed the presence of Salmonella. Salads produced for Thorntons contain grapes from the same lot.
