Recall of Salad, Spread, and Dip Products Due to Food Poisoning Risk
Note: Because there was not a specific foodborn pathogen mentioned in the recall, this Mrs. Gerry's salad recall is listed under "Food Poisoning Outbreaks." There is a wealth of information on this site regarding food poisoning and specific bacterial-based foodborne pathogens, including Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and Shigella.
On May 19, 2006, House of Thaller, Inc. of Knoxville, Tennessee recalled approximately 160,000 pounds of ham salad, chicken salad, turkey salad, tuna salad, seafood salad, seafood salad mix, pea salad mix, shrimp salad, artichoke shrimp dip, crab dip, Cajun crab dip because it has the potential to be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Foodborne bacteria can include Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and Shigella. Because foodborne pathogens cannot be detected by sight or smell, consumers are warned not to use the recalled salad or dip even if it does not look or smell spoiled.
The recalled salads and dips have been sold under the following brands: House of Thaller, Kroger Brand, Mrs. Gerry's, Dairy Fresh, The Fresh Market, Southern Gourmet, and Southern Style.
The recalled salads were distributed to venders and wholesale distribution centers in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. For a detailed list of recalled salads and dips, please see the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) post of the salad and dip recall.
