Dole Fresh
Vegetables Inc. is recalling Dole brand Italian Blend salad because of Listeria
food-poisoning bacteria.
The
Canadian Food Inspection Agency says consumers should not eat the salad, but
their warning is probably too late because the salad carries a best before date
of Mar. 12.
The salad
was marketed in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick and may have been also been
distributed in other provinces, the CFIA says on its website.
The CFIA says it caught the contamination through its routine testing and also says the recall might be extended to more products as its investigation continues.
