More than a dozen types of salad kits in six states are being recalled over possible listeria contamination, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Consumers who have bought the recalled products should discard them or return them to the store for a full refund.
