Dole Fresh Vegetables INC recalled Dole Garden Salad; iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, red cabbage in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Oct 29, 2021.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "The Georgia Department of Agriculture sampled and found Listeria monocytogenes in Dole Garden Salad.

Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "AL,FL,GA,LA,MA,MD,NC,PA,SC,VA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Monterey, CA. The recall covers 2138 cases total of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 24, 2021), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
