Editor’s Note: We’ve noticed that as of 5/8/18, this story is being shared widely on social media. Please note that (as evidenced in the dateline) this story is from late October of 2017 and any of these products you may have purchased would long since have gone bad.

Packaged vegetable products sold at Walmart, Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Target and other major retailers in the U.S. and Canada are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. 

California-based Mann Packing said the recall of minimally processed vegetable products is in response to a single positive result found on one of its products during a random sampling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution. No illnesses have been associated with the products.

Listeria monocytogenes can lead to serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people. An infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
