Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling certain Premium Potato Salads because they contain onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. The onions came from a supplier, Gills Onions, that issued their own recall for the same contamination concern.

Who is at risk

People who are pregnant, elderly, very young, or have weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness from Listeria, though anyone who ate the affected product could potentially get sick.

What to do

Check if you have either of these products at home: Copperwood Premium Potato Salad (2 lb. or 5 lb.) or Our Own Premium Potato Salad (5 lb.). If you do, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store where you purchased them. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or digestive issues after eating this product.
