Recall Alert: Salad Mix Recalled After Dead Bat Found Inside Packet

Fresh Express has announced a precautionary recall of a limited number of cases of Organic Marketside Spring Mix.

The item being recalled is 5 oz. Organic Marketside Spring Mix which is packaged in a clear container with production code G089B19 and best-if-used-by date of APR 14, 2017 located on the front label. It has a UPC code 6 8113132897 5 located on the bottom of the container.

Walmart stores located in the Southeastern region of the United States are the only stores which distributed the affected products.

The recall was necessitated after Fresh Express was notified that extraneous animal matter was allegedly found in a single container of the salad. As a precautionary measure, all salads manufactured in the same production run are being recalled.

No other Marketside salads or Fresh Express salads are included in the recall.

Walmart removed the product from store shelves quickly.

Consumers who may have already purchased the recalled product are asked to discard it and not consume it. A full refund will be given where purchased or by calling the Fresh Express Consumer Response Center toll-free at (800) 242-5472 during the hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
