Ventura Foods Recalls Honey Mustard Dressing Due to Plastic Foreign Object

Ventura Foods is recalling specific lots of honey mustard dressing because a plastic foreign object was inadvertently introduced into the product stream.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a plastic foreign object, which is a physical contamination risk rather than a high-risk pathogen or severe structural defect.
