Health Alert Issued For Salads, Wraps Due to Parasite Concern

Federal authorities have issued a public health alert about more than two dozen beef, pork and poultry salad and wrap products. The Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service says the products, distributed by Indianapolis-based Caito Foods may be contaminated with cyclospora. The parasite causes intestinal illness. The USDA says Caito Foods was notified from their lettuce supplier, Fresh Express, that the chopped romaine used in some of the salads was being recalled. The products were sold by grocery stores including Trader Joe's, Walgreens and Kroger. They have the establishment number "EST. 39985 or P-39985." People are urged to throw them away.
