Listeria Recall: Produce Sold At Walmart, Aldi Pulled From Shelves

Baltimore, MD - July 25, 2024  - Several kinds of produce, including cucumbers, green beans, peppers and squash, have been recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria, federal authorities said this week.

According to the FDA, the products were sold at both Walmart stores and Aldi supermarkets between July 5 and 12.

Wiers Farm Inc., which initially recalled cucumbers sold in three states, has expanded the recall to include additional products shipped to more states. According to officials, the products were sold in 13 states, including Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In addition to Walmart and Aldi, some of the products were sold at Kroger, Save-a-Lot and Shop N Save.

There have been no illnesses reported to date, the FDA said.

Listeria symptoms vary depending on the severity of the illness. Symptoms may last from days to several weeks, according to health officials. "Consumers who have consumed the affected product and are experiencing symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues should seek medical attention," the FDA said in its recall notice.
