Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition The following is an update from FDA of concern to our subscribers. Outbreak Investigation of Salmonella Typhimurium: BrightFarms Packaged Salad Greens (July 2021) July 22, 2021 The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to the consumption of BrightFarms packaged salad greens produced in the firm's Rochelle, IL facility. On July 15, 2021, BrightFarms recalled packaged salad greens produced in its Rochelle, Illinois (Ogle County) greenhouse farm because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. On July 21, 2021, Michigan was added to the list of states that received recalled products. Recalled products were sold in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan. FDA visited the farm and collected samples. More information will be provided once available. FDA continues to work with BrightFarms to determine if there are additional products or "Best By" dates that could have been affected. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Recommendation Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled BrightFarms packaged salad greens produced in Rochelle, IL. The salads are packaged in a plastic clamshell container labeled as "fresh from Rochelle, IL." According to the firm, these products were distributed in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan. Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and distributors should check their refrigerators and throw away any of the products identified above. If you purchased or used these products, you should use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces that may have come in contact with the product, to reduce the risk of cross contamination. FDA recommends that anyone who has symptoms of salmonellosis contact their healthcare provider. Read the full update |
