Recall Alert: Frozen Vegetables in Several States Over Listeria Concerns

Federal authorities have announced a recall for frozen vegetables distributed across six states and Washington, D.C., due to potential listeria contamination.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed that Endico Potatoes Inc., a company based in Mount Vernon, New York, distributed 2.5-pound packages of frozen peas, carrots, and mixed vegetables between July 18 and August 4, 2025, to locations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Florida, and Washington, D.C.

Details of the Recalled Products

Despite a positive test for listeria monocytogenes being found in product samples at a Pennsylvania distributor, as of Thursday, there have been no reported illnesses, according to the FDA.

Listeria is a bacterium known to cause severe and sometimes deadly infections, particularly in children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. Infected healthy individuals might experience fever, nausea, headaches, and other temporary symptoms, while infections in pregnant women can result in miscarriages or stillbirths.

Consumer Guidance

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected vegetable products are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a complete refund. Queries regarding the recall can be directed to Endico by calling 1-800-431-1398.
