The FDA has announced that more salads have been recalled that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The original recall was for salads made from products that are regulated by the USDA.

If you have one of these recalled products, dispose of them in a sealed container or return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If you ate one of these salads, monitor yourself for symptoms of an E. coli O157:H7 infection, which include abdominal cramps, diarrhea that may be watery and/or bloody, and fever. People usually get sick two to eight days after exposure to the bacteria. If you experience any illness, contact your healthcare provider immediately and tell her you ate one of these products.
