Product codes are located on the front of the packages below the Use-By Date. No other Fresh Express products are subject to recall.

The recall was necessitated when the Michigan Department of Agriculture received a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test of a single package of Fresh Express 9 oz. Sweet Hearts salad mix with Use-By Date of December 8, 2021, manufactured at the Fresh Express Streamwood facility. The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported ten illnesses associated with the strain of Listeria monocytogenes detected in the random sample beginning in 2016 to the present.

Fresh Express immediately halted all production at the Streamwood facility and initiated a complete sanitation review. 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.

In the event consumers have the recalled products in their refrigerators, they should be discarded and not consumed.

I'm in Ohio and made tacos with it for most of my family before I knew about the recalls, luckily everyone was okay

I am not seeing a code on my fresh express that is part of the recall. I am not happy that fresh express has been recalling their products for many years.

I have a question. Do Kroger brand salad like baby spring mix is considered having listeria bacteria in it?
