(CNN/Gray News) - The Food and Drug Administration has linked
more items to a multi-state outbreak of cyclospora infections
that has hospitalized 23 people.
Walmart is recalling 12-and 24-ounce bags of Marketside Classic
Iceberg Salad. The items have best-if-used by dates of May 19 to
July 4 and were sold at select stores in Iowa, Minnesota,
Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Officials say the Illinois company Fresh Express produced the
salads, which contain iceberg lettuce, carrots and red cabbage.
Earlier this month, Fresh Express recalled similar items sold at
Hy-vee, Aldi and Jewel-Osco stores in the Midwest.
The salads are being recalled as a precautionary measure due to
a possible health risk from the cyclospora parasite.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 206
people have been infected and 23 hospitalized. Common symptoms
of the intestinal infection include severe abdominal pain,
diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, body aches and fatigue.
Customers are urged to throw away the salads. Anyone with
questions, or those looking to obtain refunds, may contact Fresh
Express Consumer Response Center toll-free at (800) 242-5472 on
weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET.
