Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The Kroger Co. is recalling 891 cases of Kroger brand Kale Bags (16-ounce) because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. These products were distributed to retail stores in Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. If you have purchased this product, do not consume it and instead return it to your place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism 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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for 16-ounce plastic bags of Kroger Kale with UPC 1111018170 and Lot Number 10702021832.
  2. Verify the 'Best By' date on the packaging to see if it matches 09/18/2021.
  3. If you have an affected product, do not open or consume it; Listeria can sometimes survive in cold environments.
  4. Return the product to the retail location where it was purchased for a full refund.
  5. For additional information or questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA).
