Fresh Creative Foods Caesar Salad Kit is being recalled because it may be contaminated with deer feces. Deer feces can contain pathogens such as E. coli and the prion that can cause chronic wasting disease, although there is no evidence at this time that humans can develop chronic wasting disease.
They can also contain Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia bacteria. Because this recall notice was posted on the FDA’s Enforcement page and not on the regular recall page, there is no mention of whether or not any illnesses have been reported to the company or the FDA to date. The recalling firm is RMJV LP, doing business as Fresh Creative Foods of Vista, California.
