Weirs Farm has expanded its July 12 recall of whole and bagged cucumbers to include more produce in more stores in more states. The company said the recalled produce could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The expansion is in response to an investigation by Ohio health officials. Products involved in this expanded recall were packed between July 5-12.
The company points out there have been no illnesses or consumer complaints reported to date and the recall is being carried out out of an “abundance of caution.”
