HH Fresh Trading Recalls Enoki Mushrooms Due to Listeria Monocytogenes Contamination

HH Fresh Trading Corp of California has issued a recall for its 200g Taiwan Enoki mushrooms after discovering potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria poses serious health risks, particularly to young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. While healthy individuals may experience only mild symptoms, Listeria infection can lead to severe outcomes, including miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

The recalled Enoki mushrooms, packaged in 200g clear plastic bags with barcode #4711498860019, were distributed to multiple retail stores in West Virginia on August 20 and August 23, 2024. On October 11, 2024, HH Fresh Trading received confirmation that a sample tested by the FDA on September 9, 2024, revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. In response, the company has immediately suspended production while working with the FDA to investigate the source of the contamination. So far, no illnesses have been reported.

Consumers who purchased the affected product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you were affected by this recall, you may be eligible for a compensation.
