Frozen vegetables sold at Food Lion, Kroger recalled over listeria concerns

Bags of frozen vegetables sold at Food Lion and Kroger ♍are being recalled over fears that they may be con𓃲taminated with potentially harmful bacteria.

Washington-based Twin City Foods Inc. issued the voluntary recall for a limited quantity of frozen sweet corn and mixed vegetables “due to a potential for these products to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes,” according to a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

The affected bags were distributed to Food Lion and Kroger stores nationwide, according♏ to the notice. 

The recall was initiated due to third-party lab results from a customer’s bag of sweet corn, which indicated that there was a potential presence of the bacteria.

There haven’t been any reports of illness or other complaints associated with the product.

Consumers are urged not to consume the product and return it🙈 to the store of purcꩲhase for a full refund.

With listeria i♑nfection, healthy individuals might only suffer from short-term symptoms which include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and di🀅arrhea. 

However, it can cause serious and even fatal infections in young children, elderly individuals and thoseℱ with weakened immune 💃symptoms.

It can also potentially lead toꦿ a miscarriage or sti✅llbirth in pregnant women.
