What happened

Garden-Fresh Black Bean Salsa is being recalled because it contains onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. The onions were supplied by Gills Onions, which issued their own recall for the same reason.

Who is at risk

Everyone should avoid this product, but pregnant women, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems face the highest risk of serious illness from Listeria.

What to do

Check your home for the recalled salsa (15 oz. or 5 lb. containers with UPC codes 0 11596 06118 4 or 0 11596 52587 7). If you have it, throw it away or return it to the store. Do not eat it. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea.
