Twin City Food Inc. Recalls Frozen Vegetables Amid Listeria Concerns
Twin City Food Inc., a renowned food processing company, has initiated a voluntary recall of certain batches of its frozen vegetables due to potential listeria contamination. The affected products include “Not-Ready-To-Eat” Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) Super Sweet Cut Corn and Mixed Vegetables, which are sold in retail bags.
Listeria is a bacterium that can lead to severe or even fatal infections, especially in vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. However, even healthy individuals can experience symptoms such as fever, headaches, nausea, stiffness, abdominal pain, and diarrhea if exposed to the bacterium.
Pregnant women, in particular, need to be cautious as listeria infection can have dire consequences, including miscarriages and stillbirths. Therefore, it is crucial for consumers to take prompt action regarding these recalled frozen vegetables.
The frozen vegetables were distributed under several popular brands, including Kroger, Food Lion, and Signature Select. Twin City Food Inc. advises consumers to refrain from consuming the affected products and either dispose of them or return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
Thankfully, no illnesses have been reported thus far in connection with the recalled vegetables. However, Twin City Food Inc. is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of its customers by initiating the recall.
For consumers seeking further information or who have any questions regarding the recall, Twin City Food Inc. can be contacted at 360-629-5678 during regular business hours.
This voluntary recall serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety and the significance of thorough quality control measures in the food industry. Twin City Food Inc. remains committed to upholding the highest standards and protecting the health and well-being of its consumers.
