Dole Fresh Vegetables recalls Italian blend salad (romaine lettuce and radicchio) due to Listeria Monocytogenes contamination found in Canadian food testing. Products sold with specific UPCs from March 2014 are affected.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested a random sample of bagged Italian Blend which tested positive for Listeria Monocytogenes.
Dole Fresh Vegetables is recalling Italian blend salad products containing romaine lettuce and radicchio because Canadian food inspectors found Listeria Monocytogenes bacteria in a sample. This recall is important because Listeria can cause serious infections, especially in pregnant women, newborns, and those with weakened immune systems.
Listeria Monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious infections, including miscarriages, stillbirths, and severe illness in newborns. It can also lead to life-threatening infections in people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly or those with chronic illnesses.
People who purchased Dole Italian Blend salad products with the listed UPCs from stores like Kroger, Walmart, and others between March 2014 and the best-by date. Pregnant individuals and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk from Listeria infections.
