Plain-English summary

GHSW, LLC, a Houston, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 1,786 pounds of ready-to-eat salad with chicken products. The recall involves specific 365 by Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's salad varieties produced between October 1 and October 18, 2018. These products bear establishment number P-44056 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after GHSW, LLC received notification on October 15, 2018, that the corn ingredient used in the production of these salads was being recalled by the supplier due to concerns regarding Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The affected items were shipped to retail locations in Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, while Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
