Salad in plastic box in a supermarket. According to new research from Consumer Reports, phthalates and bisphenols — two chemicals linked to various health risks such as diabetes and hormone disruption — are "widespread" among supermarket staples and fast foods, regardless of their packaging and ingredients and whether or not they are certified organic.

HOUSTON (AP) – A Houston company has recalled nearly 1,800 pounds of ready-to-eat salad with chicken products because a corn ingredient may be contaminated with salmonella and listeria.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says GHSW recalled salads produced Oct. 1 through last Thursday, with “best by” or “best if sold” dates of Sunday or Monday.
There are no reports of anyone getting sick.
Salads with a “P-44056” USDA mark were shipped to Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. The items include some products sold under the Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s labels.
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. Listeriosis can cause diarrhea, fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.

Items include:

  • 10 ounce (283.49 gram) packages of “365 BY WHOLE FOODS MARKET BBQ STYLE CHOPPED SALAD WITH CHICKEN”
  • 8 ounce (226.79 gram) packages of “365 BY WHOLE FOODS MARKET CHICKEN FAJITA SALAD”
  • 13 ounce (368.54 gram) packages of “TRADER JOE’S BBQ SEASONED WHITE CHICKEN SALAD”
  • 10.7 ounce (303.33 gram) packages of “TRADER JOE’S FIELD FRESH CHOPPED SALAD WITH GRILLED WHITE CHICKEN”
  • 10.7 ounce (303.33 gram) packages of “TRADER JOSÉ’S MEXICALI INSPIRED SALAD WITH CHILI SEASONED CHICKEN”
