Dole’s Bagged Salads Alert!
Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. recalled all of the bagged salads it produced at its Springfield Ohio facility last week, after inspectors determined Listeria bacteria there likely caused 12 hospitalizations and one death.
People should throw away any salad that came from the facility, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. CDC recommends that consumers do not eat, restaurants do not serve, and retailers do not sell packaged salads produced at the Dole processing facility in Springfield, Ohio.
Brands of packaged salads include Dole, Fresh Selections, Simple Truth, Marketside, The Little Salad Bar, and President’s Choice Organics.
Their product, distributed in 23 states including New York and Jersey, was pulled from supermarket shelves and consumers advised to toss suspect bags and scrub any surface the contents touched.
All Dole-branded and private label packaged salads subject to the voluntary withdrawal are identified with a product code beginning with the letter “A” in the upper right-hand corner of the package. This recall applies to all products manufactured from the Dole facility located in Springfield, OH.
On January 21, 2016, Dole reported to CDC that it had stopped all production at the processing facility in Springfield, Ohio. The company also reported that it is withdrawing all packaged salads currently on the market that were produced at this facility.
- At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that packaged salads produced at other Dole processing facilities in the United States are linked to illness
