Refrigerated Vegetable Products Recalled Due to Temperature Abuse During Delivery

United Natural Foods, Inc. is recalling refrigerated vegetable products distributed to stores in Alabama and Mississippi due to temperature abuse during delivery to retail locations.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard (potential bacterial growth from temperature abuse) is theoretical rather than confirmed. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without hospitalization reports and without reported illness score 2 (Moderate).

Plain-English summary

United Natural Foods, Inc. has recalled various refrigerated vegetable products including cole slaw, salsa, detox salads, beets, chopped romaine, farro salad kits, and collard greens. The recalled products were distributed to retail stores in Alabama and Mississippi.

The recall was initiated after two food trailers carrying the products were found to have been temperature abused during delivery to retail locations. Failure to maintain proper temperature control during transport can allow the growth of harmful bacteria and result in food spoilage.

No illnesses or injuries related to these products have been reported. Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products should not consume them and should dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.
