TOPEKA ( KSNT ) – The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) is warning people to avoid eating salad kits which may contain harmful food borne disease.
The FDA say Taylor Fresh Foods of Salinas, California has voluntarily recalled its Marketside Bacon Ranch Crunch Salad Kit as it contains cheese which could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. This is part of an expanded recall from Rizo-López Foods, Inc.

Healthy people may suffer short-term symptoms like a high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria can also lead to stillbirths and miscarriages among pregnant women.
