Vegetables are among some of the healthiest food choices but in this instance, what you don’t know could harm you. Pre-packaged vegetables that were sold in a number of stores are now being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Those stores include many major retailers in Canada and the U.S. including Target, Wal-Mart, Aldi and Trader Joe’s.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is responsible for performing random tests of food products. During the testing of the minimally processed vegetable products, a single positive result was found. As of this time, there have been no illnesses from these products so the recall is being given to be cautious.
Some people are able to deal with exposure to Listeria monocytogenes but it can be fatal when young children or those with a compromised immune system come in contact with it. In addition, pregnant women who consume foods contaminated with Listeria run the risk of stillbirths and miscarriages.
According to the FDA, foods that may be affected include those with “best if used by” dates that range from October 11 till October 20. Those dates can be found on the package front. The following is a list of brands, products and UPC codes from recalled items in the United States.
