Dole Foods said Friday it is withdrawing the sale of salads in three Canadian provinces and more than 20 U.S. states after an outbreak of Listeria linked to Dole packaged salads. The American Centers for Disease Constrol (CDC) said in a statement that one person has died and 12 have been hospitalized by a multistate listeria outbreak tied to Dole’s packaged salads. Global News Meanwhile, the Public Health Agency of Canada is currently investigating after seven people were hospitalized in a Listeria outbreak affecting five provinces. In one case, a person has died but it has not been determined if Listeria contributed to the death. Dole Food Co. officials notified the CDC on Jan. 21 that they had stopped production at a processing facility in Springfield, Ohio. “CDC recommends that consumers do not eat, restaurants do not serve, and retailers do not sell packaged salads produced at the Dole processing facility in Springfield, Ohio,” the CDC said in a statement. “These packaged salads were sold under various brand names, including Dole, Fresh Selections, Simple Truth, Marketside, The Little Salad Bar and President’s Choice. The packaged salads can be identified by the letter ‘A’ at the beginning of the manufacturing code found on the package.” http://globalnews.ca/news/2471603/one-dead-12-sickened-from-listeria-contaminated-salad-from-dole-food-cdc/?hootPostID=c2b79f1961c8a2eb070c5936278dda22 |

I buy the packaged "salads" at ALDI's. Finished the last one last week. Whether it was packed by Dole or not, I don't know. Between e.coli, norovirus, and listeria, our fresh food supply is not looking good. Perhaps a good mantra: If you don't BOIL it, don't EAT it? |

Unfortunately, it is not possible to cook a salad. Usually the product gets washed in chlorine by [low paid] workers. My juices are looking better as time progresses. Edited by Kahu, Jan 24 2016, 11:00 AM.

Enlarge your reading. Ref The precocious autobiography of a Quebec "terrorist" Pierre Vallières. While the title of this book is offensive, it certainly is a thought-provoking look at French-Canada, as well as a fascinating piece of political history. Edited by Kahu, Jan 24 2016, 11:07 AM.
