A voluntary nationwide recall was recently announced by the National Frozen Foods Corporation (NFFC) involving “a limited quantity of Not-Ready-To Eat Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) green beans and IQF mixed vegetables because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.” Potential Listeria contamination is a serious matter because the organism has the potential to “cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” Even healthy individuals can experience symptoms such as fever, nausea, stiffness, and abdominal pain, among others.
