Fresh Express recalls salad after listeria find

Fresh Express is voluntarily recalling 2,825 cases of  Veggie Lovers Salad with a product code of I208  and use-by date of Aug. 10 after a sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. No other Fresh Express salads are included in the recall. No illnesses have been reported in association with the recall. 
 
The cases were distributed by Fresh Express to 13 states with the potential for redistribution by customers to an additional 14 states.  
 
The precautionary recall notification is being issued due to an isolated instance in which one package of Fresh Express Veggie Lovers Salad yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test collected and conducted by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, according to the company.   
 
Fresh Express is coordinating closely with regulatory officials. Immediately upon learning about the positive test result, Fresh Express conducted a traceability assessment and a full review of its food safety documentation, all of which were found to be in compliance and were negative for the presence of any bacteria.
