WASHINGTON – Schiller Park, Ill.-based Food Evolution recalled more than 6,800 lbs of dip and salad products after officials determined ingredients in the ready-to-eat products were not inspected by US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The agency discovered the issue after conducting routine verification and found that uninspected products produced off site were repackaged and incorrectly labeled as being inspected with the USDA mark of inspection at the Food Evolution plant.

The products, some of which contained meat, were produced between Nov. 9, 2020, and Jan. 29, 2021. No reports of illness have been linked to the consumption of the products. Recalled products are labeled with a Feb. 6, 2021 use-by date, according to FSIS and include the following products:
