Missa Bay, LLC. Of Swedesboro, NJ, recalled more than 97,000 pounds of salad bowls with meat or poultry because the lettuce may be contaminated with E.coli O157:H7. The recalled salad bowls have the establishment number “EST. 18502B” inside the USDA label of inspection.
The USDA posted the recall notice amidst the CDC’s investigation of a multi-state E.coli outbreak that is most likely tied to romaine lettuce.

From a sick patient’s home, the Maryland Department of Health collected an unopened package of Ready Pac Chicken Caesar Salad with the establishment number “EST. 18502B” on the label – the product tested positive for E.coli O157:H7. All products made with this same lot of lettuce, including the lettuce used in Missa Bay salads, have been recalled.
The recalled salads were produced between October 14-16th and shipped to distribution centers in 22 states: AL, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MI, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, VA, and WI.
