Consumer Alert: Pacific Coast Salad Kits Sold at Fred Meyer Recalled

The Oregon company has voluntarily recalled a number of salads for potential lysteria contamination, but no illnesses have yet been reported, the FDA said.

 

Pacific Coast Fruit Company, Portland, Ore., is voluntarily recalling multiple types of bagged processed salads based on the potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, though no illnesses have been reported in association with its products. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. 

The recall is spurred by an expanding nationwide recall by River Ranch Fresh Foods of Salinas, Calif., which supplies Pacific Coast, among others. River Ranch also says there have been no reported illnesses associated with this recall, according to the recall alert. The River Ranch recall includes products with best buy dates reading 12MAY2012 – 29MAY2012 or Julian dates 118 or 125. According to the recall list, products from the company sold in Washington are under the label River Ranch.

Pacific Coast Fruit utilized a portion of the salads that were recalled by River Ranch in some of its retail and food service processed bagged salad. The following list from Pacific Coast includes the UPC code, Pacific Coast Fruit Item Number, and Best if Use By Date or Production Date of items that are distributed to stores in Washington such as Fred Meyer. 

Pacific Coast recalled products were distributed to Fred Meyer, Avanti, and Evergreen in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Idaho. 

The recalled retail salads are packed in a 9.6 oz -10 oz clamshell style and VA food service items is packed in 5 lbs – 20 lbs food service salads bags. 

The voluntary recalls are being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 

Consumers who have purchased this product should not consume it and are urged to return it to the place of purchase or destroy the product. Consumer with questions can contact Pacific Coast Fruit at 503-234-6411 between the hours of 8 am-4:30 pm PST Monday to Friday.
