Target and The Fresh Market Recalls Sandwiches and Salads

UNITED STATES – According to online news articles published by www.cincinnati.com and www.macon.com, and according to an FDA public health statement, Elevation Foods has issued a recall of certain sandwiches and salads sold at Target and The Fresh Market for possible listeria contamination.

Elevation Foods manufactures and sells certain foods sold at Target and The Fresh Market stores nationwide.  A recent recall notice identifies foods that may have been contaminated with listeria, potentially dangerous bacteria.  Elevation Foods issued the recall after learning that three containers of egg salad tested by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services tested positive for listeria.  The food manufacturer is continuing to investigate the matter.

Consequences of Listeria Contamination

While no illnesses linked to certain sandwiches and salads sold at Target and The Fresh Market stores have been reported, the risk of being exposed to listeria monocytogenes can be very serious, especially for certain groups of individuals.  Healthy individuals exposed to listeria may experience symptoms that include, among others, high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Individuals who fall into certain groups, such as young children, the elderly, and other individuals who are frail or have weakened immune systems, are at risk of developing serious and potentially fatal infections following exposure to listeria.  Additionally, Listeria infection can cause women to experience miscarriages and stillbirths.
