A possible Listeria contamination spurs the federal government to launch a recall in salad products.

 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that Garden Fresh Foods of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is recalling about 13,600 pounds of salad products.

"The salads contain diced onions that are the subject of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recall by Gill Onions, due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes," the USDA said.

 The product subject to recall is:
