CRF Frozen Foods Initiates Massive Recall of Frozen Vegetables; Cites Listeria Contamination Concerns

CRF Frozen Foods, a Pasco, Washington company, has announced a voluntary recall of fifteen different frozen vegetable items due to fears of Listeria contamination.

Routine testing by Ohio state health officials uncovered the Listeria contamination. Testing of one lot of Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) organic white sweet cut corn and IQF organic petite green peas both indicated the presence of the bacteria.

The recalled frozen vegetables were widely distributed, both to retailers and distribution centers. The distribution of effected items occurred between September 13, 2015 and March 16, 2016.

Product Effected Widely Distributed, Sold Under Many Brand Names

The CRF Frozen Food products were directly distributed to the following states, and also may have been redistributed in other states nationwide: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Missouri, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Hew Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, among others.

In Canada, the recalled products were distributed to the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

Multiple brand names are subject to the recall: True Goodness by Meijer, Wellsley Farms Organic, Organic by Nature – Canada, Organic by Nature, and Schwan’s.

Risks and Symptoms of Listeria Infection

The CRF Frozen vegetables may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. an pathogen that has the potential to cause fatal infections. Particularly susceptible to serious cases of Listeria are young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. The infection poses unique risks to pregnant women, who may experience miscarriages and stillbirths.

Healthy individuals also can contract the illness, but typically only experience short-term symptoms including nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, severe headaches, high fevers, and stiffness.

“No illnesses have been reported to date, but the company is recalling the products as a precaution,” the recall notice states.
