The Food and Drug Administration has announced the recall of some Dole-branded salad kits.
The bagged salads were processed on the same line as cheese that has been recalled by Rizo-López Foods after possible listeria contamination.
The salads may have been cross-contaminated by the cheese.
The salads also were sold under the President’s Choice and Marketside brands in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. They were also sold in several areas in Canada, the FDA said.

If you have the recalled salads, you’re being told not to eat them and to throw them away immediately.
Listeria can cause serious infections that could be deadly in young children, frail or elderly people, or those with weakened immune systems. Some symptoms of listeria infection include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can cause miscarriages and stillbirths if a pregnant woman is infected by the bacteria, the FDA said.
