A recall of frozen vegetables and fruit because of Listeria fears has been widened to cover more than 350 different products sold under 42 different brand names, federal officials say.

The recall covers dozens of brands — including Wild Oats, True Goodness, Great Value, Signature and Trader Joe's — and goes back to 2014.

"Eight people infected with the outbreak strains of Listeria have been reported from three states since September 13, 2013," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.

"All eight people were hospitalized, including one from Maryland and one from Washington who died, although listeriosis was not considered to be a cause of death for either person," it added.
