Publix is recalling 9,388 units of three different 'Steam in Bag' vegetable products containing cubed butternut squash. These products, which include Butternut Medley, Green Bean Butternut Squash, and Butternut Brussels Pecan, were sold at Publix stores between January 3, 2021, and January 14, 2021. The recall was issued because the butternut squash used in these medleys may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. No illnesses have been reported to date, and consumers should check their refrigerators or freezers for these items immediately.
The products may contain Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In vulnerable populations such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems, the infection can be fatal or cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
