WiseTrade Corporation of Irvine, Calif.,  is recalling all its cases of its 200g/7.05oz packages of ENOKI MUSHROOM (Product of Korea).

The mushrooms have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to a March 23 news release. 

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain Wand diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The Enoki Mushroom comes in a 200g/7.05oz clear plastic package with the following description “Global Fresh Marketing Enoki Mushrooms” in the front and back Wisetrade Coporation Irvine, Calif., 92618.
