Salad Kit Recalled After Wrong Topping Kit (with Different Allergens) Was Added

Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a single lot code of Dole™ Endless Summer Salad Kit.  This recall is due to possible undeclared allergens (fish and egg) in Dole™ Endless Summer Salad Kit. The dressing and topping kit (masterpack) designed for a different Dole product was unintentionally used during a portion of the production of the salad.

It seems we have seen a good many recalls of these kits where the wrong topping pack was inserted.
