This holiday season, the FDA is cracking down on recalls for salad dressings and sauces from specific retailers. They have also issued a recall for Doughy, an edible cookie dough brand sold and distributed in 15 states.

The recalled condiments are products of Ventura Foods, a manufacturer. According to The Healthy, a granulated onion ingredient used in several products has been found to contain plastic materials. These can cause internal injury if swallowed. This likely means the contaminated ingredient is not from Ventura Foods but from the facility that manufactured the dried onion.
A post from the Noadvisorypod on Instagram gave its listeners an update on this particular FDA recall: "12/4/25 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall on more than 4,000 cases of condiment products produced by Ventura Foods due to a potential foreign object contamination, specifically plastic material. Salad dressings and sauces sold at store delis and food courts, including those at Costco and Publix, are impacted by this recall. The recalled products were distributed to 27 states."
Some sauces to watch out for include Hidden Valley Ranch, Pepper Mill Caesar Dressing, and certain Publix BBQ Sauces. These are most likely to be found at Publix and Costco. According to Noadvisorypod, these might not be the only products at risk.
"The salad dressings and sauces were distributed to delis, food courts, and food service locations, which may lead to other products that were not produced by Ventura Foods being recalled."
Doughy Cookie Dough Recalled for Possible Salmonella Risk
Another product that the FDA has recently recalled is Doughy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, which may contain Salmonella. This would be a Class I recall, the most concerning type. Basically, this means that consuming this product could lead to serious health consequences. Those who are elderly, children, or have weakened immune systems are especially at risk.
For those on the lookout, the affected cookie dough comes in a 12-ounce tub and will likely have an expiration date of July 4, 2026. States that would have received the contaminated product include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
