Timeline

2 May 2016	Recall initiated by company

3 Aug 2016	Published in enforcement report	+8 days

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Peas are recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Infection is most dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can appear up to 70 days after eating contaminated food.
