TUESDAY, Sept. 9, 2025 (HealthDay News) — A New York-based company has recalled several frozen vegetable products over possible listeria contamination, according to a report shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

So far, no illnesses have been reported, the company said.

The recalled vegetables were sold between July 18 and Aug. 4 in:

  • New York

  • New Jersey

  • Pennsylvania

  • Florida

  • Washington, D.C.

The products were packaged in 2.5-pound clear plastic bags with use-by dates of June 10, 2027, and June 16, 2027, according to the FDA.
