Showing Original Post only (View all)If you have any frozen veggies/fruits in the fridge better check this YUUUUGE list! [View all]
Big recall of frozen veggis and fruit underway, so check your freezer and throw out any of the products on the list at the link below. (Edited title so it might save the terminally meh-ish -- like me sometimes.
)
My big fridge quit so I am using a dorm fridge at present, or I might have some of the products listed in my own freezer.
Just a heads up, DU peeps.
PASCO, Wash. As a precaution, CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco, Washington is expanding its voluntary recall of frozen organic and traditional fruits and vegetables. We are performing this voluntary recall in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because these products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
This expanded recall of frozen vegetables includes all of the frozen organic and traditional fruit and vegetable products manufactured or processed in CRF Frozen Foods' Pasco facility since May 1, 2014. All affected products have the best by dates or sell by dates between April 26, 2016 and April 26, 2018. These include approximately 358 consumer products sold under 42 separate brands, the details of which are listed below. Products include organic and non-organic broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, corn, edamame, green beans, Italian beans, kale, leeks, lima beans, onions, peas, pepper strips, potatoes, potato medley, root medley, spinach, sweet potatoes, various vegetable medleys, blends, and stir fry packages, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, peaches, raspberries, and strawberries. For a complete list of affected products, see below.

OP
I buy my frozen fruits and veggies from Trader Joe's so I wonder if I'll ever know?

If they sign the TPP and TTIP listeria like this will become an everyday thing.

If it's bad in the can it's probably botulism because that's an anaerobic bacterium. Very deadly.
