Apio, Inc., of Guadalupe, California is voluntarily recalling five SKUs of Eat Smart Single-Serve Salad Shake Ups (bowls) for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency told the company that one sample of the Kale/Chou Frise Doux flavor tested positive for the pathogen. Some of these products were recalled in Canada last week.
