California company recalls salads, wraps on E. coli fear

By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California company is recalling more than 180,000 pounds of prepackaged salads and sandwich wraps containing chicken and ham following an outbreak of E. coli-related illnesses in three states, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. The recall was initiated after the Food and Drug Administration last week found a cluster of E. coli-related illnesses in California in which patients had reported eating the ready-to-eat salads with grilled chicken, the Agriculture Department said. Since then, 26 patients have been identified in California, Arizona and Washington state. The USDA said the salads and wraps were produced between September 23 and November 6 by Glass Onion Catering of Richmond, California, and intended for sale in eight Western states.
