Recall on Frozen Vegetables and Fruit for fear of Listeria

Crap. Not good news for me, I eat frozen fruits and veggies every day in a green smoothie.

Yes, they have expanded the list greatly since the first announcement! I had a bag of trader joe green beans in my freezer, being pregnant this is not something I want to mess with.

Thanks for posting. My brand wasn't listed - thank goodness.

Well, now I know why I couldn't find peas at Trader Joe's today! That's some long list.

Goodness, that's quite a long list of stores/brand names! And it goes back to 2014? Thanks for posting, OP- I need to check my freezer.  

A side note:

The store that carries some of this product, has for dirt cheap! A long as you watch the codes it should be fine!

thanks for posting! pretty sure I have some mixed veggies that are affected, will check tonight.

There is a Costco item on the list too.  I tend to buy frozen items from Costco and Trader Joes.  I am also thinking about how many restaurants use frozen fruit or vegetables in what they serve.  How many smoothies were made from the tainted frozen organic fruits?

Last summer, my renter accidentally left my garage freezer door ajar. I don't know how long it was open, but there was a nasty goopy liquid on the cement underneath the freezer.  I was extremely upset because it was fully stocked, predominantly with fruit and vegetables and a few meat items.  My biggest loss was all the fruit and herbs that I grew and dehydrated myself.  And all the raisins that my mom and I dehydrated.  Just wondering if perhaps his forgetful action saved us from a nasty and potentially fatal illness.  Things always happen for a reason, but I couldn't come up with a positive one for that mess.  Until now.  At least it makes me feel better about the huge hassle of cleaning it and the monetary loss.

I got an email, phone call and text message - all in the span of one hour - from Costco about the recall.

I mean, I'm glad they are proactive, but that may have been a little excessive.

I also saw a recall today about sunflower seeds... which also affected a TJ's kale salad, a bunch of trail mixes, granola bars and chocolates, among other things. I'll see if I can find that and link it, while we're talking about food recalls.

link to list - more recalls for possible listeria contamination

more (this one is only sunflower seeds)

I'd recommend everyone check the list even if you don't eat sunflower seeds because it looks like it includes a lot of things like almonds, pecans, etc that aren't sunflower seeds but presumably were processed in the same facility with the contaminated sunflower seeds. 

Thank you for posting this. I buy most of my frozen veggies at Kroger and will check the list.

Right?  

LOL, the message we got said they will be sending a notice in the mail as well...   At least they've got their bases covered!
