This Brand of Walmart Broccoli Has Just Been Recalled In 20 States
If you're like most people then you probably started the new year with a fridge full of veggies to help you kick off 2025 on a healthy note. Well, you might need to beeline it back to your refrigerator because the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) just announced a major recall on a popular bagged vegetable.
According to the FDA, Braga Fresh has issued a voluntary recall on its washed and ready-to-eat 12 oz. Marketside Broccoli Florets due to a possible contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.
Sold at Walmart, the Marketside Broccoli Florets have a "best if used by" date of Dec. 10, 2024. Additionally, the bags have a UPC code of 6 81131 32884 5 on the back of the bag and a Lot Code of BFFG327A6 on the front of the bag.
The FDA has specifically noted that customers should check their freezers for the bagged veggie.
"This product is past its best if used by date and is no longer in stores, but consumers may have frozen the item for later use. Consumers who have this product in their freezers should not consume and discard the product," read the announcement.
So far, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled broccoli florets. If health concerns do arise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that symptoms of the illness include fever, flu-like symptoms, headache, confusion, and stiff neck. For those infected with an intestinal listeria illness, symptoms to watch out for include diarrhea and vomiting.
