MCLEAN, VA — A bacterial strain of E. coli has forced Richmond, California-based Glass Onion Catering to recall more than 90 tons of its prepackaged salads and sandwiches, USA Today reports.

The recall affects more than 180,000 pounds of ready-to-eat salads and sandwich wraps with chicken and ham, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. The contaminated products have been linked to 26 ill patients in three states, USDA said.

The products were produced between September 23 and November 6 and shipped to distribution centers in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington, noted USDA. A list of the recalled products, many of which are sold by Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Walgreens, is available on FDA’s website.
