Wiers Farm Produce Recall

Wiers Farm Inc. has recalled several of its produce products, because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. 

Listeria, a bacteria found in contaminated food, can cause a severe infection called listeriosis. While it can affect anyone, pregnant women are about ten times more likely than others to get listeriosis, and the risks can be severe. These risks include miscarriage and stillbirth.

Recalled produce was distributed in several states, including Maryland and Delaware. The recalled produce was sold at Walmart, Save-a-Lot, Kroger, Shop N Save, Shop N Save Express, Shoppers Value, Franklin Foods Inc., Grove City Country Market, Fas Chek Market, Foodland, Pechin Market, Sherwood Forest Foods and Market Basket stores.

Recalled products should be thrown out.
