Recall Expands For Frozen Fruit And Vegetables
May 6, 2016 As a precaution, CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco, WA, is expanding its voluntary recall of frozen organic and traditional fruits and vegetables. The company is performing this voluntary recall in cooperation with FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because these products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
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 here. 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.
CRF had already suspended operations at its Pasco, WA, facility as of Monday morning, April 25, 2016, following the initial voluntary recall, so a thorough review could be conducted.
CDC has informed CRF Frozen Foods that the government has identified seven people from three states who became ill and were hospitalized due to Listeria. Some of these illnesses have been linked to consuming CRF-manufactured or processed products.
All retailers who received the products have been contacted.
Products being recalled may have been purchased in all U.S. states and the following Canadian Provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
