Dole Recalls Bagged Salads

According to the Food & Drug Administration, Dole Fresh Vegetables is voluntarily recalling 1,077 cases of bagged salads.

The products being recalled are:

• Kroger Fresh Selections Greener Supreme coded N158 211B 1613 KR04 with use-by date of June 19 and UPC 11110 91039

• Kroger Fresh Selections Leafy Romaine coded N158 111B KR11 with use-by date of June 19 and UPC 11110 91046

• Wal Mart Marketside Leafy Romaine coded N158111B with use-by date of June 19 and UPC code 81131 02781

The recall is due to a possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes. Dole Fresh Vegetables is coordinating closely with regulatory officials. No illnesses have been reported in association with the recall.

The Product Code and use-by date are in the upper right-hand corner of the package; the UPC code is on the back of the package, below the barcode. The salads were distributed in six states – Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

This precautionary recall notification is being issued due to an isolated instance in which a sample of Marketside Leafy Romaine salad yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test conducted by the State of North Carolina.

No other Wal Mart Marketside, or Kroger Fresh Selections salads are included in the recall.
