The salad dressing may have been distributed to Kroger, Dillons, Food 4 Less (Chicago area only), Jay C, Smith's, Fry's, King Soopers, and City Market grocery stores. No other Kroger-brand salad dressings are affected by this recall.
The mislabeling issue was identified at three Fry's stores in the Phoenix area. The Company is investigating the mislabeling and will enhance labeling procedures to prevent future occurrences.
