Dole brand and President’s Choice brand Salad Kits recalled due to Listeria monocytogenes

Issue

The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

This recall is associated with a U.S. outbreak investigation of Listeria infections linked to dairy products manufactured by Rizo Lopez Foods.

Affected products

What you should do

  • If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
  • Check to see if you have recalled products
  • Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products
  • Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.

Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
