A series of salad kits sold at grocery stores in North Carolina and other states have been recalled because of possible listeria contamination.

The salad kits are no longer being sold and have already expired but they were sent to stores across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

No illnesses have been reported so far.
