Pacific Coast Fruit Recalls Single Serving Salads, Potential Listeria Contamination

Pacific Coast Fruit Company, Portland, Oregon is voluntarily recalling multiple types of bagged processed salads based on the potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Pacific Coast Fruit utilized a portion of the salads that were recalled by River Ranch in some of our retail and food service processed bagged salad. Please see attached list for specific products entered into commerce, including UPC code, Pacific Coast Fruit Item Number, and Best if Use By Date or Production Date.

Pacific Coast recalled products were distributed to Fred Meyer, Avanti, and Evergreen in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Idaho.
