FDA Issues Class I Recall for Broccoli Sold at Walmart in 20 States

The recall involves Marketside Broccoli Florets due to potential Listeria contamination, posing serious health risks.

The U.S. FDA has upgraded the recall of Marketside Broccoli Florets to a Class I risk, the highest level, citing potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The affected product is a 12-ounce bag of washed and ready-to-eat broccoli with a UPC code 681131328845, lot code BFFG327A6, and a best-by date of December 10, 2024.
The contamination was detected during random sampling at a Walmart store in Texas, though no illnesses have been reported so far.
The broccoli was distributed to Walmart stores in 20 states, including Texas, California, and Michigan, and may still be in consumers' freezers despite being past its sell-by date.
Consumers are urged to discard the product immediately and contact Braga Fresh for further information or assistance.
