Check your freezers: Listeria outbreak linked to foods sold here Products were sold at Costco, Trader Joe's, Safeway and others Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 4, 2016 at 10:03 AM Updated May 5, 2016 at 7:21 AM Posted May. 4, 2016 at 10:03 AM Updated May 5, 2016 at 7:21 AM » RELATED CONTENT • LIST: All foods recalled by CRF Frozen Foods » Social News A company from Pasco, Wash., has recalled fruits and vegetables sold at Costco Wholesale, Trader Joe's and Safeway, among other retailers, because of a Listeria outbreak dating from 2013 in which eight people have been reported infected, two of whom later died. CRF Frozen Foods announced the recall this week, in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The voluntary recall of frozen organic and traditional fruits and vegetables is the result of potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Eight people infected with Listeria have been reported from three states since Sept. 13, 2013. All eight were hospitalized, including one from Maryland and one from Washington who died, although Listeria was not considered to be a cause of death for either person, according to the CDC. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. A total of 358 products sold under 42 brand names are listed in the recall, affecting all products manufactured or processed in CRF Frozen Foods' Pasco facility since May 1, 2014. All affected products have the best-by dates or sell-by dates between April 26, 2016, and April 26, 2018. Products include organic and non-organic broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, corn, edamame, green beans, Italian beans, kale, leeks, lima beans, onions, peas, pepper strips, potatoes, potato medley, root medley, spinach, sweet potatoes, various vegetable medleys, blends, and stir fry packages, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, peaches, raspberries and strawberries.
