Lancaster Foods LLC, Jessup, Md., has recalled a dozen fresh-cut butternut products, citing potential Listeria Monocytogenes contamination.
The recall follows a similar action by Pero Family Farms Foods on Jan. 15, citing a notification by squash supplier Race-West Co. of a possible listeria contamination. No illnesses have been reported in connection with either recall. The Lancaster Foods recall does not mention a supplier.
Lancaster Foods recalled Veggie Rice, Autumn Medley, Squash Noodle Medleys and butternut squash noodles, planks and chunks with expiration dates ranging from Jan. 3-19 and packed in a variety of package sizes. They were shipped to 11 states and the District of Columbia, according to the company’s notice on the Food and Drug Administration’s product recall page.
For a list of the recalled products, including Universal Product Codes, see the Lancaster Foods recall notice.
They were distributed to North Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Lancaster Foods has stopped production of the items, and the FDA is investigating the source of the listeria, according to the recall notice.
