Walmart, H-E-B, Trader Joe’s among stores listed in massive vegetable recall
Back to Gallery
Now might be the time to check your salad mix.
Vegetable items from Walmart, Safeway/Albertson’s and Trader Joe’s are now included in the exhaustive recall notice from Mann Packing in Salinas. Over 20 brands have been pulled in the United States and Canada after a sampling of one of the wholesaler’s products tested positive for listeria.
The recalled products in question were distributed in the United States and Canada with “best if used by” dates from Oct. 11 to Oct. 20, according to the FDA report. There have been no reported illnesses reported from these products at this time.
RELATED: H-E-B recalls single-serving Asian Noodle Soups over possible listeria
The bacteria can be serious and sometimes fatal for the elderly, young children, or those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include a high fever, a severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of balance, and confusion.
Pregnant women typically only experience the fatigue and muscles aches, but infections can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, and other problems relating to birth. While most people report symptoms between one to four weeks after contamination, some have reported symptoms as late as 70 days after exposure, according to the CDC.
