Days ago, popular pre-made salads were urgently recalled after hundreds were found to contain salmonella.
Cucumbers in deli salads from Isabelle’s Kitchen contained the deadly bacteria, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
People who have been infected with salmonella can experience symptoms including fever, diarrhoea possibly with blood, abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea. In rare instances of salmonella entering the bloodstream, it can lead to arthritis, arterial infections and even death.
The FDA has issued the highest risk level recall for 946 cases.
In mid-May, PennRose Farms, LLC, recalled 1,152 cases of cucumbers, or 9,216 individual units.
The products under the latest recall include IKI Greek Pasta Salad, MAF Mediterranean Pasta Salad, Kings Greek Pasta Salad, MAF Crunchy Wheatberry Salad, Powerhouse Wheatberry Salad Kit and MAF Quinoa Tabouli.
They were produced from May 27 to June 1 and have the code 134, 135 or 136.
The affected salads were sold at various local grocery stores in eight states: Florida, New Hampshire, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia.
