Reason for recall

Meijer Inc. is voluntarily recalling multiple processed vegetable products following a supplier's recall due to potential contamination 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.
