Salmonella, listeria concerns spark recall

Mary’s Harvest Fresh Foods in Portland is recalling about 916 pounds of ready-to-eat salad and wrap products that contain a corn ingredient that might be contaminated with salmonella and listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The ready-to-eat salad and wrap products were produced from Oct. 5 through Oct. 13. The following products are subject to recall:

• Seven-ounce clear plastic-wrapped packages containing “Mary’s Harvest southwest chicken wrap with rib meat” with “use by” dates from Oct. 15 through Oct. 23.

• Eleven-ounce clear plastic clamshell packages containing “Trader Jose’s Mexicali inspired salad with chili seasoned chicken” with “best by” dates from Oct. 15 through Oct. 19.

The products subject to recall have establishment numbers “P-39928” or “40310-M” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Oregon and Washington.

The problem was discovered Monday when Mary’s Harvest received notification that corn used in the production of their ready-to-eat salad and wrap products was being recalled by their corn supplier due to listeria monocytogenes and salmonella concerns.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.
