Whole Foods Markets is recalling 70 products sold nationwide over bacterial contamination concerns.
The products range from vegetables to fish and Chinese food on salad or hot bars, chefs’ cases or packaged in plastic containers that were sold between October 10th and November 4th.
A list of the possible contaminated products can be found here. They include broccoli, cauliflower, chicken and salmon.
The concerns rise after supplier Mann Packing Co. announced Sunday that they would recall more than 100 vegetable products over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. The company was notified by the FDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency about the possible contamination, which can cause serious and possibly deadly infections.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, Mann Packing and Whole Foods say. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
About 1,600 people annually get ill and 260 die from listeriosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most susceptible are pregnant women and their newborns, adults ages 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems, the CDC says.
