According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, no one has reported any illness related to this recall.
The recall was initiated after a positive result for listeria was received from a random sample test of a Revolution Farms Green Sweet Crisp package, with a best-by date of April 2, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people who have weakened immune systems.
Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms, including fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In addition, it can cause miscarriages and stillbirths for pregnant women.
Retailers should remove the recalled lettuce from their shelves, and consumers who purchased the products should discard them or return them to the stores they were purchased at.
Anyone with questions should call Trent Hartwig, the president of Revolution Farms, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 616-893-1748 or email info@revolutionfarms.com with the subject line: Recall.
