Nappa Shredded 2/5 lb, packaged in plastic, keep refrigerated

Pearson Foods INC. recalled Nappa Shredded 2/5 lb, packaged in plastic, keep refrigerated in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on May 9, 2016.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Pearson Foods Corporation is voluntarily recalling a limited number of packaged Kale products because they may be contaminated with Salmonella." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Domestic Only: IL, MI, WI No Foreign or VA/DOD." 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 59 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 7, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
