Dole issues recall for bagged salad

monterey, calif.

Dole Food Co. said late Saturday that its fresh vegetables division is recalling 756 cases of bagged salad, because they could be contaminated with salmonella.

The bags of Seven Lettuces salad are stamped with a use-by date of April 11, 2012, UPC code 71430 01057 and product codes 0577N089112A and 0577N089112B, the company said.

The salads were distributed in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The company said the bags are being recalled, because a random sample tested by the State of New York came back positive for salmonella. No other Dole salads are included.

Express Scripts launches ScreenRx

Express Scripts aims to help patients stay on their meds with a product that predicts who will stop taking prescriptions before the person actually does it.

The pharmacy-benefits manager is launching ScreenRx, a program that uses a computer to sift through factors that affect patients and forecast who is most likely to forget a refill or stop taking their drugs. The company then plans to contact those patients to help them stick with their doctor’s orders.

Executives estimate about $317 billion in additional medical expenses were heaped on the U.S. health-care system last year because people didn’t comply with prescriptions.
