Harvest NYC Inc. has announced a nationwide recall of its 200g packages of Enoki Mushrooms due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
Newsweek has reached out to Harvest NYC Inc. on Sunday for comment.
Why It Matters
Listeria contamination poses serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations including young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems.
Infections can lead to severe symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. For pregnant women, listeriosis can result in miscarriages and stillbirths. Even healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms from exposure to the bacteria.
What To Know
The company, which is based in Brooklyn, issued its announcement on April 16, which was published by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on its website April 18. The recall was triggered after samples collected from a store in Buffalo, New York, tested positive for the bacteria during analysis by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Laboratory.
The recalled products are packaged in 200g green plastic containers marked with UPC barcode 6975730520101 on the back label. They are distributed by Hofood99 Inc. of Oakland Gardens, New York, and sold in retail stores across the country. The affected mushrooms were purchased between January 11-31, 2025.
Consumers who have these products are urged to either destroy them immediately or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the contaminated products.
