Get Fresh Produce Garden Cut Romaine and Lettuce Greek Mix Salad are being recalled for possible deer feces contamination. This recall has been terminated, but we are including it because people may still have this product in their homes. Deer feces can contain dangerous pathogens including Salmonella and E. coli, along with the prions that can cause chronic wasting disease, although there is no evidence at this time that humans can develop chronic wasting disease. No mention of any illnesses is included in the recall notice because it is posted on the FDA’s Enforcement Reports page. The recalling firm is Get Fresh Produce of Bartlett, Illinois.
