The FDA says the recall has been issued "because they have the potential to be contaminated with 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".

What do you do if you find an affected product in Illinois?

The FDA says "consumers who have purchased the recalled products should discard them or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund."

It's important to note that no illnesses or deaths have been connected to these lettuce products at this time, but the recall is being done out of an abundance of caution.
