Salad Dressing Recalled In Indiana May Contain ‘Foreign Objects’

Many Indiana residents use salad dressing to add flavor to leafy greens, roasted vegetables, and fruits. However, residents are warned that a popular salad dressing has been recalled, which could lead to consuming a dangerous meal.

Salad Dressing Recalled In Indiana May Contain 'Foreign Objects'

Thousands of cases of salad dressing have been recalled due to the presence of “foreign objects,” the Food and Drug Administration announced. More than 3,500 cases of salad dressing may be contaminated with "black plastic planting material" in granulated onion. The FDA has classified the recall from California-based Ventura Foods as a “Class II” recall, meaning the use of or exposure to the product could lead to temporary and adverse health consequences.
