Fresh produce, dips and pre-packaged vegetables sold at Kroger are recalled after testing shows Listeria

Supreme Service Solutions LLC (Supreme Produce) is assisting with a Kroger Store recall for items purchased from Weirs Farm Inc. (purchased from Kroger Stores) due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The potential contamination was discovered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) through routine sampling.

The recalled products were distributed at Kroger stores in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.

A full list of recalled products is below.

About Listeria infections

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell putrid, but it can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten recalled products and developed symptoms of a Listeria infection should seek medical attention and tell their doctor about the possible exposure to Listeria.

Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms in the coming weeks, as it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.

Symptoms of a Listeria infection may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headaches, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are needed to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other diseases.

Pregnant women, the elderly, young children and people such as cancer patients with weakened immune systems are at particular risk of serious illness, life-threatening infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to preterm labor, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
