Recall System, 6 September 2018. 

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. is voluntarily recalling from

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in 

young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although 

healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, 

stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and 

stillbirths among pregnant women. 

Recalled salad items were distributed in the states of AL, CA, CT, FL, GA, IN, KY, LA, MA, 

MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, NV, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, UT, VA, WA and WI. Additionally, 

these salads were distributed in the following Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, 

New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. 

No other Dole products are part of these voluntary recalls. 

Dole retailers have been advised to check store shelves and warehouse inventories to confirm 

that no recalled product is available for purchase by consumers.

Dole Fresh Vegetables is coordinating closely with regulatory officials.
