Lettuce Shipped To Minnesota Might Be Contaminated With Deer Feces

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recently issued a public health alert regarding the consumption of a specific brand of lettuce sold in Minnesota and Wisconsin. According to MLive, ready-to-eat salad and wrap products with meat or poultry distributed by Fresh Seasons Kitchen may contain traces of deer feces.
