For those of us who are trying to eat healthier, buying veggies is pretty much a necessity. Stocking up at various veggies at our favorite grocery store is the perfect way to switch up our diet and make more juices, smoothies, and healthy salads. If you’ve been buying your greens at Walmart, Trader Joe’s or Aldi, however, you might want to rethink those purchases. As if eating healthier wasn’t tough enough, it seems that packaged veggies from these retailers are being recalled due to possible listeria contamination. Yikes!
Listeria is a food borne illness that can cause fever, diarrhea and even death. Pregnant women, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune systems are at the highest risk.
Mann Packing recently released a statement saying that the recall is in response to a single positive result found on one of their products during a random sampling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Thankfully, no one gotten ill from the packaged veggies, and the company is performing the recall as an act of extreme caution.
