EL SEGUNDO, CA Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc., is voluntarily
recalling all date codes of fresh&easy Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars as a
result of a recall initiated by Thumb Oilseed Producers. This company supplies
an ingredient that has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections
in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune
systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever,
diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare
circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into
the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections
(i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
This is the only Fresh & Easy product affected and there have been no illnesses
reported.
