Gracie's Kitchens of New Haven, CT is recalling all ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable products manufactured at the facility from 11/4-11/13/24, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that 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.
The recalled products were distributed to various grocery stores located in Connecticut and New York. Products will have sell-by dates located on the labels with a range of 11/9/24-11/24/24. Specific products with sell-by dates are listed below.
These products are no longer in commerce and are past their sell-by date, but consumers should check their freezers and dispose of the product or return it to the store where they purchased it for a refund.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
This recall is being initiated after sampling indicated that Listeria monocytogenes was found in the environment. The firm is working with the FDA.
