Dole Fresh Vegetables INC recalled President's Choice 12oz Garden Salad / Le Choix du President Salade Jardiniere 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 Jan 6, 2022.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Harvest equipment used in harvesting raw iceberg lettuce was tested by Dole and found to contain Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "Canada: AB, BC, NB, ON, QC, Sk; United States: AL, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Monterey, CA. The recall covers OH/CA Total Distributed Combined: 578,243 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 2, 2022), 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.
