What You Should Do
Check your freezer to see if you may have purchased either of the recalled Endico frozen vegetable mixes. If you have the products, do not eat them. Throw them away or return them to the store for a full refund.
If you have already consumed the affected frozen vegetables, monitor for common signs of Listeria, which usually start within two weeks of eating contaminated food. Talk to a healthcare provider if your symptoms become severe or do not go away after a few days.
