Twin City Foods, Inc. recalls frozen corn and mixed vegetables sold nationwide

Twin City Foods, Inc is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Super Sweet Cut Corn and Mixed Vegetables in retail bags, due to the possibility of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The following products were distributed nationwide by the following retailers. No other products have been affected.

• FOOD LION Mixed Vegetables Carrots, Corn, Green Beans & Peas
• FOOD LION Super Sweet Cut Yellow Corn
• Kroger Mixed Vegetables Carrots, Super Sweet Corn, Green Beans & Green Peas
• Kroger Super Sweet Corn
• Signature Select Golden Corn Super Sweet, net wt. 12oz

For more information including UPC code and lot numbers, head to the FDA Recall page.

To date, there have been no actual consumer reports of human illness or other complaints associated with this product.

The recall has been initiated because finished products may potentially be contaminated with the Listeria monocytogenes, based on one customer’s 3rd party lab results for the IQF sweet cut corn.

Consumers who have purchased the affected product are urged not to consume the product and immediately return the product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the Food and Drug Administration.
