Listeria Recall: Trader Joe's Salad

Garden Leaf Foods, a Gardena, Calif., firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,591 pounds of Trader Joe's pasta salad with chicken that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The following Trader Joe's salad is subject to recall:

  • 12-ounce plastic containers of "TRADER JOE'S, Serves 2, Spicy THAI STYLE PASTA SALAD, with chicken breast." Each label bears the establishment number "P-21252" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each package bears a "Sell-by" date of "1-25-07."
The recalled Trader Joe's salad was produced on Jan. 19, 2007 and distributed to retail establishments in Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico.

The incubation period for Listeria can be anywhere from 11-70 days.  If  you have eaten the recalled Trader Joe's pasta with chicken, you should watch for Listeria symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, headache, loss of balance and confusion. If you are pregnant and ate the recalled hog head cheese, your unborn baby is at risk. Read about Listeria and pregnancy.
