Approximately 8,552 units of Dole Garden Salad and three other brand name garden salad mixes are being recalled because the Georgia Department of Agriculture detected Listeria monocytogenes in the product. The affected products include Dole, Marketside, Kroger, and Salad Classics brands sold in various sizes including 12-ounce and 24-ounce bags. These salads were distributed across several states including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Consumers should check their refrigerators for products with specific lot codes and 'Best if used by' dates ranging from October 22 to October 25, 2021, and return them to the store for a full refund.
The salads may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
