“Caito Foods Recalls Chicken Salads Due to Salmonella and Listeria Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275891-caito-foods-recalls-chicken-salads-due-to-salmonella-and-listeria. Based on USDA FSIS recall #099-2018 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/caito-foods-llc-recalls-salad-and-bowl-products-made-chicken-due-possible-salmonella).
Why it’s dangerous
Salmonella contamination can cause salmonellosis, leading to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, which may require hospitalization in severe cases. Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that may result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or life-threatening infection in newborns, pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased specific ready-to-eat chicken salads or bowls from retailers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, or Missouri between October 6 and October 14, 2018. Older adults, infants, pregnant women, and persons with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for plastic clamshell packages (8.75-oz, 11.25-oz, or 11.5-oz) or plastic bowl packages (12-oz) containing chicken salads or bowls. Look for brands including 'good & deLISH', 'Santa Fe Style Salad with Chicken', 'FRESH Garden HIGHWAY SALADS', and 'good to go! Chipotle Chicken Bowl'. Verify the establishment number P-39985 inside the USDA mark of inspection and check the specific 'Enjoy By', 'Sell By', or 'Best If Sold By' dates listed in the record.
