Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. is recalling approximately 1,188 units of Caesar salad kits and Hearts of Romaine because they were processed with low levels of chlorine wash. This recall includes 708 units of the Dole "Classic Kit Light Cesar" and 480 bags of Dole Hearts of Romaine. While some product was stopped before reaching stores, some Hearts of Romaine were distributed to locations in Iowa and Kansas. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them for a refund or dispose of them.
The wash process used a lower level of chlorine than required to ensure food safety, which could allow for the survival of bacteria on the fresh produce. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
