A packaged meal sold at Whole Foods has been recalled due to potential listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
Bakkavor USA voluntarily recalled Whole Foods Market Red Lentil Dal Thursday, according to the FDA notice. The product contains pickled curry cauliflower, which was recalled Tuesday by its producer, Doux South Specialties, LLC, because it may be contaminated with listeria.
The product was distributed nationwide and can be identified by the following codes: UPC 1 95515 02394 8 with use by dates: 4/15/2022, 4/17/2022, 4/18/2022, 4/19/2022, 4/22/2022, 4/24/2022, 4/25/2022 and 4/26/2022.
Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and those with compromised immune systems. Pregnant women should also be aware that listeria can cause miscarriages and stillbirths, according to the FDA notice. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
The FDA said that customers who purchased this product at Whole Foods Market can present a receipt at the store for a full refund. Consumers with additional questions can call 1-844-936-8255.
Whole Foods was impacted by another recall last week involving green beans.
