Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited number of cases of organic romaine hearts sold in 15 states, including Iowa. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the products being recalled are Dole Organic Romaine Hearts 3pk (UPC 0-71430-90061-1), combined English/French packaging, with Harvested-On dates of 10-23-20 and 10-26-20, and Wild Harvest Organic Romaine Hearts (UPC 7-11535-50201-2), with Harvested-On dates of 10-23-20 and 10-26-20.

The FDA said the recall is being conducted due to a possible health risk from E. coli in the two products. Dole Fresh Vegetables is coordinating closely with regulatory officials. Consumers are advised to check products they have in their homes and discard any product matching the production description, UPC codes and Harvested-On dates listed (above).

No illnesses have been reported to date in association with the recall.
