This time, Dole brand salad kits and another President's Choice brand salad kit are being recalled.

Dole's Chop Kit – Avocado Ranch and Suprême Kit – Southwestern Salad are being recalled. Here are the affected products:

Metro spokeswoman Stephanie Bonk confirmed that Dole salads have been removed from Metro and Food Basics stores, while Sobeys spokeswoman Tshani Jaja said “all products related to this recall have been removed from our warehouses” and added that Sobeys-owned Voila has been notified of the recall. warehouse.

Loblaw Companies Limited has confirmed that the President's Choice Salad Pack is now available at Real Canadian Superstore, Fortinos, Loblaw, Valu-Mart, Your Independent Grocer, Zehrs, No Frills, Affiliate, Wholesale Club, BOX and Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario.

“Do not consume, serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled products,” the Food Recall Notice states. “Returned products must be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”

The CFIA says the recall is again related to the U.S. investigation into the outbreak Listeria Infections associated with dairy products produced by Rizo Lopez Foods.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says, “Check your refrigerators and freezers for recalled products and dispose of them.” “If you freeze a product without its original packaging and you can't tell if it's part of the recall, throw it away.”
