Summary

Tesoros Trading Co. is recalling 352 cases of Trader Joe's Lightly Salted Edamame after routine testing found Listeria monocytogenes in one bag. The affected product is sold as 16-ounce frozen bags of fully cooked soybeans in the pod. Consumers who have purchased this edamame should not eat it and should instead return it to any Trader Joe's location for a full refund.

Risk

The product may be contaminated with 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. 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.
