Listeria Recall: Sliced Monterey Mushrooms
Monterey Mushrooms of Watsonville, CA, has recalled approximately 10,000 cases of fresh sliced white mushrooms and fresh sliced baby bella mushrooms, because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled fresh sliced white and baby bella mushrooms were distributed to retail stores and produce markets in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These fresh sliced mushrooms that may be contaminated with Listeria were packaged in 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz foam tills and 10 oz plastic bags with code dates 237 through 247.
