Produce sold locally and at Walmart & ALDI in Ohio and PA recalled

(WJW) – A recall for cucumbers sold at select Walmart stores has now been expanded to include even more produce sold at both Walmart and Aldi stores in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration , Ohio-based company, Wiers Farm Inc.’s voluntary recall on some whole and bagged salad cucumbers now also includes items such as green beans, peppers, jalapenos, zucchini, yellow squash, and more because the impacted produce could potentially be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The press release states that some green bell peppers and cucumbers were sold at Grove City Country Market in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The report said that mixed vegetable boxes were sold at Youngstown Foodbanks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection, that sickens about 1,600 people each year and can be deadly.

According to the FDA, so far, there have been no illnesses or consumer complaints reported.

Products involved in the expanded recall were packed between July 5-12.
