You get Listeria, you get Listeria, everybody gets Listeria! Or at least that's the way it seems. Another brand is recalling its ready-to-eat meals due to the threat of Listeria. Maybe Listeria is the new, cool, hip thing to get, like nose rings in the '90s.
There have been three major food recalls in recent months due to Listeria that have affected New York families. The mushrooms were distributed to retail stores and distributors in the New York City area. The clear plastic packages are marked with code GGN: 4063061794758 on the back label. There was a major recall of ready-to-eat pasta sold at Trader Joe's and Walmart stores due to potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. Also, Western United Fish Company, doing business as Annasea Foods Group of Kent, Washington, issued a recall for its Kirkland Signature brand Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke, due to possible Listeria contamination. The green onions used in the product are potentially contaminated with Listeria. You can get more details on each of those three food recalls here.

Hello Fresh Ready-To-Eat Meals May Pose Threat To New Yorkers
Two varieties of HelloFresh ready-to-eat meals may pose a threat to New Yorkers due to Listeria.
What Is Listeria?
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 lead to serious pregnancy complications among pregnant women."
According to the FDA, a health alert has been issued for the 10.1-ounce containers of "HelloFresh Ready Made Meals Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta," and the 10-ounce "HelloFresh Ready Made Meals Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey." The pork meals have the establishment number “Est. 47718” and lot code 49107 or establishment number “Est. 2937” and lot codes 48158 or 48840. The turkey meals have the establishment number “P-47718” and lot codes 49569, 50069, 50073, or 50698. The products contain spinach that Sno Pac Foods has recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. Both HelloFresh products were shipped directly to consumers in New York.
