"Recent Recalls: Listeria Contamination in Salad Kits, Dressings, and Dairy Products"

Dole Fresh Vegetables is recalling certain salad kits due to potential listeria contamination from cheese processed on the same line as the recalled cheese from Rizo-Lopez Foods. The recall affects Dole-branded, President’s Choice, and Marketside salad kits. The multistate outbreak of listeria infections linked to Rizo-Lopez Foods has prompted the recall of over 100 products. The CDC has reported two deaths and 23 hospitalizations related to the outbreak, with infections dating back to 2014. Consumers are urged to discard the affected products, and the FDA's recall list continues to be updated as the investigation unfolds.

"Multiple Retailers Issue Recalls Over Listeria Contamination Concerns"

Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of certain salad kits due to potential cross contamination with cheeses recalled for possible listeria contamination. The affected products were sold in 25 states and several Canadian provinces, and customers are advised to dispose of them immediately. The recall stems from a previous recall by cheese supplier Rizo-López Foods, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a food safety alert for the recalled cheeses potentially linked to a multistate outbreak of listeria. Listeria can cause severe illness, particularly in pregnant individuals, those aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems.
