Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Retail salad products under this recall were distributed throughout the United States and Canada under various sizes and packaged under the brand names of River Ranch, Farm Stand, Hy-Vee, Shurfresh, and The Farmer’s Market. Foodservice salad products under this recall were distributed throughout the United States and Canada under various sizes and packaged under the brand names of River Ranch and Sysco. The recalled retail and foodservice salad bags have either “Best By” code dates between 12MAY2012 – 29MAY2012 or Julian dates of 118 and 125. The code date is typically located in the upper right hand corner of the bags. “Best By” code dates which may be displayed as 12MAY2012 – 29MAY2012 or Julian dates 118 or 125 BRAND PRODUCT NAME SIZE PKG TYPE UPC STATES DISTRIBUTED RIVER RANCH Three-Color Cole Slaw Mix 16oz bag 45388-10046 NATIONWIDE Angel Hair 10oz bag 45388-10031 Creamy Homestyle Cole Slaw Kit 11.5oz bag 45388-10037 Iceberg & Romaine European 12oz bag 45388-60019 Iceberg & Romaine European 12oz bag 45388-60042 Greener Garden 12oz bag 45388-60040 Classic Garden 6oz bag 45388-60001 Classic Garden 16oz bag 45388-60002 Chopped Romaine 10oz bag 45388-88030 Complete Caesar Salad Kit 10oz bag 45388-60043 Italian Salad 10oz bag 45388-60020 Romaine Garden 10oz bag 45388-60044 Iceberg Shreds 8oz bag 45388-60045 Restaurant-Style Cole Slaw 16oz bag 45388-10024 Spring Mix 24oz bag n/a Spring Mix 48oz bag n/a Heritage Blend 16oz bag n/a Farm Stand Iceberg Garden Salad 16oz bag 41163-45452 CA Iceberg Garden Salad 24oz bag 41163-45453 Hy Vee Cole Slaw 16oz bag 75450-12051 IA, IL, KS, MN, MO, NB, SD, WI European Blend 12oz bag 75450-12049 American Blend 12oz bag 75450-12047 Garden Supreme 12oz bag 75450-12046 Garden Salad 16oz bag 75450-12052 Garden Salad 48oz bag 75450-12065 Italian Blend 10oz bag 75450-12048 Shredded Lettuce 8oz bag 75450-12053 Caesar Salad Kit 10oz bag 75450-12050 Chopped Romaine 10oz bag 75450-12055 Romaine Garden Blend 12oz bag 75450-12058 Shurfresh Greener Garden Salad 12oz bag 11161-40133 AR, CO, KS, KY, IA, IL, IN, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, OK, SD, TN, TX, WI, WY Romaine Garden Salad 10oz bag 11161-40134 Iceberg Garden Salad 16oz bag 11161-49092 Cole Slaw 16oz bag 11161-49088 Sysco Spring Mix 48oz bag n/a MO The Farmers Market Cole Slaw 16oz bag 30034-30013 MD, OH, PA, WV American Salad Blend 12oz bag 30034-30105 Italian Salad Blend 10oz bag 30034-30115 Romaine Garden Salad Blend 12oz bag 30034-30220 Romaine Chopped 10oz bag 30034-30141 Garden Supreme 12oz bag 30034-30146 Parisian Salad Blend 7oz bag 30034-30259 Angel Hair Cole Slaw 10oz bag 30034-30266 European Salad Blend 12oz bag 30034-30125 Leafy Romaine Blend 9oz bag 30034-30364 Garden Salad 6oz bag 30034-30012 Garden Salad 12oz bag 30034-30400 Garden Salad 24oz bag 30034-30363 ColeSlaw Kit 11oz bag 30034-99829 Iceberg Shredded 8oz bag 30034-30195 Iceberg Shredded 16oz bag 30034-99888 ### River Ranch Product Labels -
