The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a recall of Salata Salad Kitchen Jalapeño Avocado Dressing as a Class I recall, its most serious risk level, due to potential salmonella contamination. The dressing contains diced jalapeños that may be linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak under FDA investigation.
Salata Dressings initially recalled the product on August 11. The FDA's Class I designation on September 29 signifies a reasonable probability that exposure to the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
The recall affects 1,724 cases of the dressing, sold in 12.5-ounce bottles and 1-gallon jugs. Distribution was concentrated in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. Specific batch numbers and best-by dates for the affected products have been identified. Consumers are advised to discard the dressing, clean any contaminated surfaces, and monitor for salmonella symptoms, which can include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. If symptoms persist or worsen, individuals should contact a healthcare provider.
