ACH Food Companies, Inc. Issues Voluntary Recall of Salad Toppings Due to Possible Health Risk Related to Sunflower Seeds

ACH Food Companies, Inc. of Memphis, TN is recalling DURKEE Salad Topping, Food Club® branded Salad Topping and Hy-Vee Garden Style Salad Topping because it has 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. 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.
