ANOTHER salad recall-3rd in 3 months

Jacie Estes said:

I stopped buying salad or lettuce at the market. I have an indoor greenhouse and grow my own lettuce and spinach now. What really is a pain is consumers buy the salad, the company tells them to throw it away, but they never reimburse the consumer for the cost of the product. Great way to do business, huh. :banghead:

Dole Hearts of Romaine salads are being voluntarily recalled after one bag tested positive for listeria monocytogenes during a random check by the FDA.

This is the third time in three months that Dole has recalled bagged salad because of contamination concerns. On April 14, the company recalled 756 cases of Seven Lettuces Salad because of potential salmonella contamination. On June 26, Dole recalled 1,000 cases of Kroger Fresh Selections Greener Supreme, Kroger Fresh Selections Leafy Romaine and Wal-Mart Marketside Leafy Romaine salads.

Are these companies fined or is it business as usual after they issue a recall? We've had our share of recalls up here in Canada as well but no one ever mentions what happens as a result of what I would consider poisoning the public?

It's ridiculous. What does it take for the government to take some serious action? Can't the foods be tested BEFORE being sent out for consumption? WTH?

:maddening:
