Spartan Central Kitchen recalled #764 Salad - Large Chef 3/4 pounds in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 10, 2012.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "During an FDA inspection, microbiological swabs were collected and the results found that 21 sub samples in zones 1, 2 & 3 are positive for Listeria Monocytogenes (L.M.), Listeria innocua (L.I.) or Listeria seeligeri (L.S.). The firm is voluntarily recalling all products manufactured from August 20th to September 10th 2012 due to the possible contamination. All lots with sell by dates on or befo" Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "MI and OH only." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Grand Rapids, MI. The recall covers 1) 739; 2) 670 of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 24, 2012), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
