The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded July’s recall of Jalapenos, green peppers and green beans to Class I, the agency's highest threat level.
A Class I recall means there is “a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
RS Hanline and Company, Inc., distributed the produce to ALDI stores in nine states. The recall was issued after inspectors said some of the produce might be contaminated with Listeria.
The vegetables were distributed to stores in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
Here’s how to identify the products:
Product Name: | Package Description | UPC Code |
Jalapeno | 8 oz. bag | 4099100087680 |
Green Pepper | 16 oz. (3 pack) bag | 4099100087598 |
Green Beans | 16 oz. bag | 4099100087826 |
