What happened

Lakeside Foods is recalling frozen peas and carrots sold under four brand names because testing found Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in the product. The affected packages were distributed to seven Midwest states.

Who is at risk

Everyone should be concerned, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face higher risk of serious illness from Listeria.

What to do

Check your freezer for the recalled brands (Bountiful Harvest, Giant Eagle, Our Family, or Sysco Classic) with the listed UPC codes. If you have any, throw them away or return them to the store. Proper cooking kills Listeria, so the product is safe if fully cooked according to package directions.
