Meijer Inc., a grocery retailer, is recalling several varieties of fresh deli salads and sandwiches because of potential contamination with Salmonella.
This is one of several fresh salad and sandwich products Meijer Inc. is recalling because of possible contamination with salmonella.
The implicated salads and sandwiches were sold in Meijer stores from July 20 through July 25, according to the recall notice on the retailer’s website. “Prime Foods LLC, our supplier for an ingredient used within select Markets of Meijer salads and sandwiches, is recalling product due to potential Salmonella,” according to the recall notice posted today. “There have been no known illnesses reported to Meijer from the product affected by this recall.” Ronald Bennett, chief operating officer for Prime Foods said this afternoon that the danger to the public is extremely low. He said one of the Meijer central locations that prepares fresh foods for the chain was the only Prime Foods customer to receive the recalled egg product. “It’s a very small amount of product that is involved and we have a certificate from our third-party lab that it was OK when they tested it,” Bennett said. “Right now there is no evidence of anything pathogenic. We just didn’t want to take a risk when the lab notified us that they had some kind of anomaly.” Bennett said the situation was still unfolding this afternoon, but that initial reports from the third-party lab suggested that an internal audit in that facility showed some kind of problem there. A complete list of the recalled deli salads and sandwiches is posted on the Meijer Inc. website. The Michigan company operates more than 200 stores in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin. “Consumers who have purchased this product should discontinue use and return the product to the nearest Meijer store for a full refund,” according to the recall notice.
