Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling various cut vegetables, ready-to-eat salads, slaw, spread, and dip products manufactured before November 6, 2013, due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. However, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in ready-to-eat foods typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of mitigating factors, and Class I recalls are defined as situations where there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
