   FDA Sets Highest Risk Level for Salata Salad Dressing Recall

   The Food and Drug Administration classified the recall of Salata Salad Kitchen Jalapeño Avocado Dressing as a Class I risk, its highest warning level, due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salata Dressings originally initiated the recall in August. The affected dressing was sold across three states including Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. The Class I designation indicates that exposure to the product could result in serious adverse health consequences or death. No illnesses linked to the product have been reported at this time.

   Why it matters
