Coastal Sunbelt Produce Co. Inc. has recalled 3,893 cases of Fresh Cut Butternut Squash and 3 bins of Raw Butternut Squash because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were distributed across 10 states and the District of Columbia. No illnesses have been reported to date, but consumers are urged to check their squash for specific production codes to avoid potential infection.
The squash may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, but Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
