by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling certain potato salad products because they contain onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria. The onions came from a supplier, Gills Onions, that issued its own recall for the same contamination.

Who is at risk

People who are pregnant, elderly, very young, or have weakened immune systems are at highest risk from Listeria, though anyone can get sick from eating contaminated food.

What to do

Check if you have any of the recalled products listed (Acme Homestyle Egg Potato Salad or Weis Potato w/ Egg Salad) and do not eat them. Throw them away or return them to the store where you bought them for a refund.
