FDA: Listeria Concerns Prompt Broccoli Recall at Walmart Stores
By Physician’s Briefing Staff HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Jan. 3, 2025 -- Braga Fresh is voluntarily issuing a recall of its Marketside Broccoli Florets due to possible Listeria contamination, according to a company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The company has issued a recall of the 12-oz bags in 20 states after testing uncovered Listeria bacteria in one sample. The affected bags were sold at more than 1,000 Walmart stores across the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The broccoli bags are past their "best by" date of Dec. 10, 2024, but Braga Fresh is warning customers who may have frozen the product for later use.
The contamination was discovered during random testing at a Texas store, according to the recall notice.
While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA is urging anyone with the affected product to throw it out immediately. Affected lots include the lot code BFFG327A6 on the front of the bag and the UPC code 6 81131 32884 5 on the back.
No other Braga Fresh products are part of this recall.
