Gracie’s Kitchen Recalls Fruit and Vegetables Due to Listeria Contamination

Gracie’s Kitchens, based in New Haven, Connecticut, is recalling all ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable products manufactured at its facility between November 4 and November 13, 2024. The recall is due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

The recalled products were distributed to grocery stores in Connecticut and New York and have sell-by dates ranging from November 9, 2024, to November 24, 2024. The products are no longer available in stores and are past their sell-by dates.

No illnesses have been reported at this time. The recall was initiated after environmental sampling detected the presence of Listeria monocytogenes at the facility. Gracie’s Kitchens is cooperating with the Food and Drug Administration to address the issue.

Health Risks of Listeria

Listeria monocytogenes infection can be severe, particularly for young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms in healthy individuals may include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, while infections in pregnant women can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.

Consumers are urged not to consume the recalled products and are advised to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you were affected by this recall, you may be eligible for a compensation. Reach out to Keep Food Safe for legal guidance on how to protect your rights and stay informed about food safety issues.
