A mushroom farm has recalled packages of enoki mushrooms due to possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The manufacturer, Enoki King Mushroom Farm of Ventura, California, made its own announcement that same day. The recall includes lot 4877 of the farm’s 5.3-ounce packages of Enoki Mushroom.
The recalled mushrooms were sold from California and New York, as well as through produce distributors or wholesalers to retail locations all around the country, the FDA said.
According to the FDA, the mushrooms could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, frail or elderly people and those with compromised immune systems.
Otherwise healthy individuals who come in contact with this organism may experience short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, but listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women, the FDA said.
So far, no illnesses have been reported in connection to the mushrooms, the FDA said.
The company discovered the possible contamination after the Maryland State Department of Health tested some of the products and found listeria monocytogenes in the 5.3-ounce Enoki Mushroom packages.
