Recall of the Week: Frozen vegetable products containing peas from Twin City Foods

As part of the ongoing recall of CRF Frozen Foods vegetables, Twin City Foods of Stanwood, Washington, is recalling items containing organic peas it received from CRF Frozen Foods.

These products include Central Market Organic Peas and Mixed Vegetables, HEB Organic Mixed Vegetables, Sweetfrost Mixed Vegetables, and Woodstock Organic Mixed Vegetables because the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

 No illnesses to date have been reported to Twin City Foods for the products listed below, the company said.

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 products were shipped to distribution centers in California, Texas, and Washington state.

The Best Used By date or Package Code is located on the back of the package in black ink. Only these codes are involved in the recall.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Consumers who purchased an affected product are urged not to eat it and immediately return the product to the store where they purchased it for a refund. 

Consumers with questions can contact Chad Bernard at 804-775-1939 Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time, or email cbernard@mwcllc.com.
