Multiple Salad Products Are Being Recalled In Canada & You Should Throw Them Out ASAP
You definitely don't want these symptoms.👇🤒
If your new year's resolution involves eating more greens in 2022, you'll definitely want to check to see if you have any of the packaged salads from Dole and President's Choice that are being recalled.
On Friday, January 7, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued the recall notice for several salad products due to "microbial contamination" from listeria.
The products were sold nationally and the government agency advises that you do not eat these things:
- Dole's Garden Salad
- Dole's Very Veggie
- Dole's Greener Selection
- Dole's American Blend
- Dole's Asian Island Crunch Suprême Kit
- Dole's Southwest Salad Suprême Kit
- Dole's Chop Chop Kit Peppercorn Ranch
- Dole's Chop Chop Kit Teriyaki Pineapple
- President's Choice Garden Salad
- President's Choice Mixed Greens
The contaminated foods have lot codes beginning with "W" or "B" and have best before dates up to and including January 8 and January 9, 2022.
According to the CFIA, food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell like it's gone bad, but could still make you seriously sick.
"Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness," they warn. "Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die."
Health Canada advises that you throw the items out ASAP if you have them in your fridge or return them to where you bought them for a refund.
If you think you've become sick from consuming the product, the agency recommends you call your doctor immediately.
