Vegetables Produced In Hudson Valley Recalled

Endico Potatoes of Mount Vernon, New York, recalled its frozen peas and carrots and frozen mixed vegetables because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

According to the FDA, Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections."

Young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems are most at risk of a fatal infection.

Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Healthy people typically deal with short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

The recalled products were sold in New York State, as well as, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Washington D.C. and Florida.

• These lot codes are printed on the side of the bag as shown below.

All are urged not to eat the recalled items and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The company says it has stopped shipping out the frozen veggies after the products tested positive for Listeria.
