Fresh Choice Red Leaf Lettuce May Have Salmonella, Officials Warn

State health officials are warning consumers not to eat certain Fresh Choice red leaf lettuce sold at three Southern California grocers, due to possible Salmonella contamination.

The lettuce was sold between October 20 and November 1 at Canton Food Co in Los Angeles, Cardenas Market and Numero Uno Market locations throughout Southern California.

Fresh Choice Marketing of Oxnard produced the lettuce and made it available in grocery stores as whole head lettuce without identifying labels.

The contaminated red leaf lettuce is no longer being sold but CDPH investigators are concerned consumers might still have the vegetable in their homes.
