INDIANA – New Age International Inc. of Brooklyn, NY, is recalling its 200g Daily Veggies Enoki Mushroom Products package to Korea because they may be contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes.
This organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, L. Monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled Enoki Mushrooms were distributed nationwide in retail stores. The product comes in a 200g, clear plastic package marked with UPC 8809159458890 on the back label.
No Illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The contamination was discovered after samples were collected from a store in Baltimore, Maryland. Subsequently, analysis by the State of Maryland Department of Health Laboratories Administration revealed the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes in some 200g packages of Daily Veggies Enoki Mushroom from Korea. The remaining products in the warehouse had been destroyed.
Consumers who have purchased 200g packages of Daily Veggies Enoki Mushroom from October to November of 2024 are urged to destroy the products immediately or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 718-808-1018.
