Dole Announces Recall For Salads

Salads could be linked to Listeria outbreak in some states including Massachusetts.

According to the Centers for Disease Control:

• 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.

• 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. These packaged salads were sold under various brand names.

  • Brands of packaged salads include Dole, Fresh Selections, Simple Truth, Marketside, The Little Salad Bar, and President's Choice.

  • These packaged salads can be identified by the letter "A" at the beginning of the manufacturing code found on the package.

  • 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.

If you have any of these products in your fridge, it's a good idea to toss them out.
