Dole Salads Recall

The recalled salads were all packaged at the Dole processing facility in Springfield, Ohio and were sold under the following names: Dole, Fresh Selections, Marketside, Simple Truth, President's Choice and The Little Salad Bar. Listeriosis, the illness caused by this bacteria, can take up to 70 days to appear after first exposure, which complicates the investigation. The bags that have an A at the start of the production code are the ones to watch out for. This outbreak has evidently been going on for a long time, they say to watch the dates between July 5, 2015 to December 23, 2015. The symptoms include flu-like fever and muscle aches, upset stomach or diarrhea, stiff neck, headache, loss of balance, confusion, and convulsions. If you do experience these symptoms, see your doctor and tell him you ate this recalled product.

We recently had some salads recalled here too. I think last month but I don't remember why. Scary though.

@VivaLaDani13 It is really alarming how many recalls there are in the past few years not only with food but cars and household goods.

@Marcyaz Why cars and what sort of house hold goods? I've only heard about food lately.

Yes I saw that a while ago Marcy..I very rarely buy packaged anything but have been very careful in the last few years to avoid even lettuce.

I can check the package in the fridge that I just bought yesterday. But, what I've already eaten I have no memory of what brand it was.
