Woolworths Supermarkets is a supermarket/grocery store chain located in Australia and owned by Woolworths Limited.
Also on Thursday, the supermarket chain revealed some of its lettuce and spinach salad mixes had been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 28 people.
The recalled salads, grown and packaged by Victorian company Tripod Farmers, were sold at Coles, Woolworths, Bi-Lo and other stores in Australia.
