What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy), which meets the criteria for a High severity score under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

The Clorox Company is voluntarily recalling Hidden Valley Original Ranch dressing, 16 fl oz. plastic bottles, due to incorrect ingredient labels. The recall affects 318 cases (2,910 bottles) distributed nationwide.

The recall is necessary because some bottles inadvertently lack the declaration of soy lecithin as an ingredient. The product contains soy, which is a major food allergen, and the missing label prevents consumers with soy allergies from identifying the product as unsafe for them.
