Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. has voluntarily recalled several branded and private-label salad kits over possible listeria concerns.
According to the recall, the salad kits were produced on the same line as a cheese recalled by the manufacturer, Rizo-Lopez Foods, for the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Dole says that the company is unaware of any specific illnesses associated with its products or by other purchasers of their recalled cheese.
A listing of products in this recall includes Dole, President’s Choice, and Marketside brands with select lot numbers that can be found online.
The product lot codes are located in the upper-right-hand corner of the package.
Consumers who still have any of these products in their refrigerators or freezers should not eat the food and should throw them away immediately.
