National Frozen Foods Corporation is recalling some of its Not-Ready-To-Eat frozen green peas and frozen mixed vegetables because they may be contaminated with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
The Seattle-based company announced its voluntary recall Friday and warned that listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal illness in young, elderly, or immunosuppressed people. In pregnant women, it can cause miscarriages and stillbirth.
The recalled products were distributed nationwide between Sept. 2, 2015 and June 2, 2016, and they were sold under the brands Great Value, Bountiful Harvest, First Street, Live Smart, Market Pantry and Sprouts Farmers Market. The company issued its recall after a sample tested positive for the bacteria.
Food Safety News reported the recall appears to be unrelated to CRF Frozen Foods’ recall of frozen veggies, which the Pasco, Wash., company announced in April.
Following the cooking instructions on products sold by the National Foods Corporation can reduce infection risk, the company said in its announcement. Symptoms of foodborne illness include severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The company said no illnesses have been reported so far.
The Food and Drug Administration advised customers who purchased any of the recalled items not to consume them, but to return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
The following items have been recalled:
