Back on April 23, CRF Frozen Foods announced a voluntary recall of frozen organic and traditional fruits and vegetables. Since that announcement, seven people have become sick and two of them, sadly, have passed away. As a result they are now expanding this recall.

These products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. According to the FDA, healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
