Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Albertsons and Safeway recalled certain vegetable steaming trays and cups because the vegetables may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria. The vegetables came from Mann Packing, which had already issued its own recall for the same contamination concern.

Who is at risk

Everyone should be concerned, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face the most serious health risks from Listeria infection.

What to do

If you purchased these 13 oz. vegetable steaming products (UPC 24214000000) from Albertsons or Safeway stores in the affected states, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. Check your freezer and refrigerator if you're unsure whether you have this product.
