Lamb Weston (Alexia Foods) is implementing a voluntary recall of the Alexia Foods – Organic Yukon Hash Browns (16oz), due to the possible contamination of Listeria Monocytogenes. Listeria Monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Although no illnesses have been identified in connection with the products, consumers should not eat any of the recalled items, as they could be contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes. While these products are not ready-to-eat items and have cooking instructions which, if followed, will reduce consumer risk, there remains some risk that the mishandling of this product prior to or without adequate cooking may cause illness. This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No other Alexia products are affected by this voluntary recall. If you have purchased this product, immediately dispose of it or return it to Mariposa Food Co-op for a full refund.
