Today’s Harvest Field Peas with Snaps, Silver Queen Corn, and Broccoli Florets with the sell by dates 04/21/16 are being recalled by manufacturer Greystone Foods, LLC and Publix Supermarkets because of possible Listeria contamination.
Birmingham, AL-based Greystone on April 16 shipped the potentially contaminated product to a Public Supermarkets warehouse in Lakeland, FL, and the manufacturer does not think any contaminated products left the facility. Nevertheless, Publix is removing the brands from is retail shelves as a precaution.
Listeria is a sometimes deadly pathogen that is special threat for the elderly, young children, and anyone with a compromised immune system. It also known for causes miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
No other grocers are involved in the recall, according to the notice, which was released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recalled products come in 32 ounce clear plastic bags and are located in the freezer section of Publix. The sell by date of 04/21/16 is printed along the bottom seal of the bag in black ink.
“The potential for contamination was noted after we were informed by our supplier that an area of their facility where the field peas with snaps were blended tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes on a non-food contact surface,” the Greystone recall notice says.
The company is confident all the recalled product are being quickly identified and removed from commerce. It said if any customers find packages with the sell by date of 04/21/16 we urge them to return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund.
