Meijer has issued a voluntary recall of its select Fresh From Meijer premade salads, in conjunction with its supplier, Revolution Farms. It is feared that the recalled premade salads could potentially be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Consumption of Listeria contaminated salads could pose severe to fatal infections and health risks to people of all ages.
Announced on April 7, 2023, the voluntary recall is part of a broader Revolution Farms lettuce recall. The recall includes several variants of premade salads that were sold at the brand's stores in the regions of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. As of now, neither the company nor the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have received reports of any illnesses or fatalities in regards to the consumption of the affected products.

The recall affects at least 12 variants of Premade Salads supplied by Revolution Farms and sold at multiple Meijer stores across the country.

Customers who may have purchased any of the aforementioned premade salad products and have them stored in their refrigerators are strictly advised not to consume them.

Consequences of consuming Listeria-contaminated food
For the unversed, consumption of Listeria-contaminated food could lead to fatal infections and other health risks in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may only suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Listeria infection is known to severely affect people with underlying medical conditions or those who have undergone major medical treatments like organ transplants. Patients who experience any of the aforementioned symptoms are advised to visit a medical care center or consult a doctor at the earliest possible date.
