E. coli scare prompts Kroger to recall salad

CINCINNATI (AP) — Kroger Co. said Friday the grocery chain was recalling its store-brand "Southern-Style" and "Mustard" potato salads because of concerns they have been tainted with E. coli bacteria, according to state agricultural officials.

Cincinnati-based Kroger has stores in 31 states, many under different banners. Spokeswoman Meghan Glynn said potato salads sold in Ralphs, Fred Meyer and QFC stores weren't affected. Those stores are mainly in western states.
