Dead bat found in salad bought at Florida Walmart prompts recall

Very, very important recall for our southern members. This is both gross as all hell, and alarming.

Dead bat found in salad bought at Florida Walmart prompts recall

The CDC said Saturday they are working with the Florida Department of Health and the FDA to investigate a dead bat that was found in a packaged salad purchased from a Walmart in Florida.

On Saturday, Fresh Express issued a recall of a limited number of cases of Organic Marketside Spring Mix that was sold to Walmart stores in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The CDC said the deteriorated condition of the bat did not allow for them to definitively rule out whether this bat had rabies.

Officials said transmission of rabies by eating a rabid animal is extremely uncommon, and the virus does not survive very long outside of the infected animal.

In this circumstance, the risk of rabies transmission is considered to be very low, but because it isn’t zero, the two people who ate salad from the package that contained the bat were recommended to begin post-exposure rabies treatment. Both people report being in good health and neither has any signs of rabies.

WTF has happened to QC? (I know, I know, automation, but still) How does something make it through QC with a dead goddamn BAT in it?

You won't find a bat in a head of lettuce. I don't know why people buy those containers with premaid salads, the chemicals in them used to keep them from turning brown are probably way worse for you than that bat. They probably killed the bat.

If you're buying pre made salad at Walmart you deserve rotting bats in your dinner.

Pre made salad is stupid, and Walmart is evil.

They shouldn't advertise it, now everybody will want one.

Unwanted protein in a salad labelled ORGANIC?!

Grow your own greens, learn the wild edibles in your area...

Was going to comment along the lines of, "Are you sure it wasn't an Ozzie's Choice Salad Blend?"


Also watch out for those spiders!

Perhaps a new age bat signal.

Hahahaha..omg, funny

Next up will be a bat cull
I love bat's, except in salad form..they are very important in terms of insect control, I watch them do laps in my backyard in the summer months.

Explains why the people in our country are starting to go batty.

Gross. Another article said they are the salad before finding bat parts.

No big deal. He won't eat much.

Poor bat, what a way to go, eh?

it's Florida.. I'm sure some southerns wouldn't mind trying some bat meat

I've bought a bag of spring greens that came with a tree frog.
I didn't realize that "greens" included frogs.

I just bought a salad at Wal-Mart last night, but it was not Spring Mix. If you look at the packaging, it is harvested and packed in Mexico, each package now has the bag date and good by date printed onto the plastic itself, and arrives like this right off the trucks. Better be checking these facilities in Mexico!
