DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration has recalled bagged salad distributed to a dozen Midwestern states by Hy-Vee, Aldi and Jewel-Osco grocery stores after 122 people in seven states were sickened. Nineteen have been hospitalized.
The salad mix is contaminated with cyclospora, a parasite that can cause severe diarrhea. The salad mix is packaged as Hy-Vee Brand Garden Salads, Jewel-Osco Signature Farms Brand Garden Salads ALDI Little Salad Bar Brand Garden Salads.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the most people sickened are in Iowa with 54 and Illinois with 30. Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin also have reported illnesses.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora illnesses potentially linked to ALDI Little Salad Bar Brand Garden Salad from ALDI grocery stores, Hy-Vee Brand Garden Salad from Hy-Vee grocery stores, and Signature Farms Brand Garden Salad from Jewel-Osco, according to a media release.
Although the investigation is ongoing, CDC’s analysis of epidemiologic information indicates that these bagged salads from ALDI, Hy-Vee and Jewel-Osco grocery stores are a likely cause of the illnesses. FDA has initiated a traceback investigation to determine supplier and distributor information to find the cause and source of the outbreak.
FDA is in the beginning stages of this investigation and there may be additional retailers and products impacted by this outbreak. The FDA reported a 76 illnesses and 16 hospitalizations through Sunday.

This isn't the first time there've been recalls of packaged salads sold at Hy-Vee.

These bagged salad and greens like spinach have been a problem for years. I guess I won't buy anymore. Fresh lettuces from now on and frozen veg!
I'm sure. I just like to post stuff when I see it. Never know who it might save.

Oh no, I wasn't criticizing- the info is appreciated!
I just meant some stores have a history of problems.
a lot of things are getting tainted anymore. A lot of it has to with cleanliness at the plants I think.
after nearly 40 yrs in food service you would be surprised at some of the nastiness i have witnessed over the years. i tried to put a stop to some of it and found out early on that as long as there's a body present to work, most employers don't give a crap what's going on behind closed doors.

So now we got salmonella in the onions. What is going on with our foods anymore? Everything is causing these atrocious food borne illnesses. Somebody's not washing their hands. LOL!
I'm digging around looking at recipes at the moment. Here's one I'd be willing to try.

We have a supervisor at work that had some really really really super hot jalapeno jellybeans on her desk. One of the cooks thought they were cherry. She popped 4 of them in her mouth all at once. Damn near did her in. LOL! I'm glad I never got into the habit of messing with people's candy dishes.
