NY Firm Recalls Frozen Vegetables After Testing Finds Listeria

Endico Potatoes of Mount Vernon NY, is recalling Endico brand Peas and Carrots and Mixed Vegetables because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.  The recall was the result of sampling done by the state of Pennsylvania at one of the distributors which revealed that the finished products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The company has ceased distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

There are currently only two date codes of product being recalled.  As as have seen with other Listeria-related recalls, these recalls can often be expanded as the company and regulators find that the company did not have adequate controls in place meaning that more lots may have contamination.
