Dean's Dip Voluntary Recall
Recall Reason: Ventura Foods, LLC is voluntarily recalling seven of its Dean's® Dip products, with specific production dates, because a flavor enhancer may be contaminated with salmonella. The flavor enhancer is made by an ingredient supplier, Basic Food Flavors, Inc., in Las Vegas. The voluntary recall involves a flavor enhancer called hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), which is used to make Dean's Creamy Taco Dip. The other six Dean's Dip products were manufactured on the same equipment, at about the same time, so they're being recalled as well. There is no evidence of salmonella in any Dean's Dip product or in any other Ventura Foods products.Pack/Codes: The Dean's Dip recall impacts only the products listed below with the specific UPC code and "Sell By" dates. This recall does not affect any other Dean's Dip products or other Ventura Foods Brands.

N.G.A. is the national trade association representing the retail and wholesale grocers that comprise the independent sector of the food distribution industry. An independent retailer is a privately owned or controlled food retail company operating a variety of formats. Most independent operators are serviced by wholesale distributors, while others may be partially or fully self-distributing. Some are publicly traded but with controlling shares held by the family and others are employee owned. Independents are the true "entrepreneurs" of the grocery industry and dedicated to their customers, associates, and communities. N.G.A. members include retail and wholesale grocers, state grocers associations, as well as manufacturers and service suppliers. For more information about N.G.A. and the independent sector of the industry, see the N.G.A. website: www.nationalgrocers.org.
