Summary
- Salata Salad Kitchen Jalapeño Avocado Dressing recalled due to Salmonella.
- The recall is classified as Class I, the highest risk by the FDA.
- Consumers should return the dressing for a full refund.
Salata Salad Kitchen Jalapeño Avocado Dressing is subject to a Class I recall, the FDA's most serious category, due to potential Salmonella contamination. This recall affects 1,724 cases of the dressing manufactured by Salata Dressings, LLC, in Houston.
The affected product was distributed in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. Consumers can identify the recalled dressing by its expiration dates: November 5, 13, 18, or 25, 2026, for 12.5-fluid-ounce bottles, and October 6 through October 26, 2026, for one-gallon jugs.
Salata initiated the voluntary recall after its jalapeño supplier indicated potential contamination with Salmonella, possibly linked to a multistate outbreak. The FDA designated this recall as Class I on September 29. Initially, the public announcement focused on HEB stores in Texas, but the enforcement report expanded the distribution scope.
Customers possessing the recalled dressing are urged to return it to the point of purchase for a complete refund. Additionally, it is recommended to clean any surfaces that came into contact with the dressing to prevent cross-contamination. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific recall as of the article's publication.
