Revolution Farms first initiated the recall when The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development received “a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test of a package of Revolution Farms Green Sweet Crisp 5 oz. Retail with Best By date of April 2, 2023.”
The recall was then expanded on April 6 after the product “was epidemiologically linked with a multi-state outbreak of Listeriosis.” The company revealed that an investigation into the matter is “ongoing.”
Meijer also announced a recall for select “Fresh From Meijer” pre-made salads as part of the expanded recall as Revolution Farms is a supplier of Meijer.
The affected products were sold to retailers and food service distributors in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. For a full list of retailers and detailed packaging information as well as product codes, click here.
