What happened

National Frozen Foods Corporation is recalling frozen green beans sold under multiple brand names because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause illness. The affected products were distributed to restaurants, food service businesses, and manufacturers across 21 states.

Who is at risk

Everyone can be affected by Listeria, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face the most serious health risks.

What to do

If you work in food service or manufacturing and received these green beans, do not use them and contact your supplier. Home consumers are unlikely to have purchased these products directly, as they were sold primarily to commercial food service operations, but you can check your freezer if you work in food service.
