Albert Lea, MN -- May 22, 2006 -- Mrs. Gerry's Kitchen, Inc. of Albert Lea, MN is voluntarily recalling approximately 54,000 pounds of salads because it has the potential to be contaminated with harmful bacteria. We are recalling these products because one of our suppliers provided us with an ingredient that was not processed in a manner to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Consumers in those and adjoining states that possess any of these listed salads are asked by the company to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
