Ventura Foods recalled 3,556 salad dressing cases due to black plastic contamination, with the FDA classifying the risk as temporary or medically reversible health effects.

  • On December 17, 2025, Ventura Foods, the California-based manufacturer, recalled 3,556 salad dressing cases sold across 27 states to retailers including Costco and Publix.
  • After discovering `black plastic planting material` in granulated onion, Ventura Foods initiated the recall on Nov. 6, which the FDA classified as Class II on Dec. 4.
