As of Thursday, no illnesses have been reported related to the recalled products. However, samples taken at a distributor in Pennsylvania tested positive for the bacteria listeria monocytogenes, prompting the recall.

Listeria monocytogenes can lead to severe and potentially fatal infections in vulnerable populations such as young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. In pregnant women, it can cause miscarriages and stillbirths. Symptoms of listeria infection in healthy individuals may include fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled frozen vegetables are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For any inquiries, customers can contact Endico at 1-800-431-1398.
