Summary

Thousands of salad dressing cases recalled due to plastic contamination.
Irvine-based Ventura Foods initiated the voluntary recall.
Affected products sold at Costco, Publix across 27 states.

Ventura Foods has initiated a voluntary recall of 3,556 cases of salad dressing after discovering potential contamination from "black plastic planting material." This foreign material was found in granulated onion used as an ingredient. The recall impacts products sold at prominent retailers, including Costco and Publix, across 27 states.

The company took swift action upon notification from its ingredient supplier about a recalled batch of onion granules. Ventura Foods has urged customers, distributors, and retailers to identify and halt the sale of any affected products, assuring that consumer safety remains paramount.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert in early November regarding the recall. The affected salad dressings had sell-by dates ranging from October 17 to November 9. Costco notified customers at the time and offered full refunds for returned products.
