Huge Frozen Fruit and Vegetable Recall in Washington State and Across the Country
The FDA and CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco have a voluntary recall of frozen fruits and veggies for possible concerns of Listeria.
As a precaution, CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco, Washington is expanding its voluntary recall of frozen organic and traditional fruits and vegetables. We are performing this voluntary recall in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because these products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The press release goes on to say that 7 people have been sick with Listeria due to this. Two have died, but not due to Listeria.
See a full list and the full press release at the FDA website. Though the processing plant is in Pasco, Washington, these products span all 50 states and some of Canada as well.
