Albertsons, Safeway, Vons and Pak N' Save Stores in Eight States Revise Product Lists for Recall of Vegetable Trays and Cups in Cooperation with Mann Packing's Voluntary Recall Due to Possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination

PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Albertsons, Safeway, Vons and Pak N' Save stores in eight states are revising a previously reported list of products that were voluntarily recalled in cooperation with Mann Packing's recall of minimally processed vegetable products due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The recalled Albertsons, Safeway, Vons and Pak N' Save products, which included items that were subject to the Mann Packing recall, were removed from sale when the recall was initiated on October 20. However, the stores are revising the publicly reported product lists to provide accurate product names and UPC Codes for the corresponding states.

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.

This recall impacts only the products in the stores and states listed below. The products have Sell Thru Dates up to and including 10-24-17 (October 24, 2017) and are packaged in clear plastic trays and cups of various sizes. The UPC code and Sell Thru Date can be found on the store scale label.

The following recalled products were sold in Safeway stores in California, Hawaii and Nevada; Pak N' Save stores in California; and Vons stores in Fresno, Clovis and Oakhurst, California.

The following recalled products were sold in Albertsons and Safeway stores in Colorado, Nebraska, Northwestern New Mexico, South Dakota and Wyoming.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with the Mann Packing recall. These products have been recalled out of an abundance of caution.

Customers who purchased the recalled product should discard or return it for a full refund. Customers who have questions about the recall can contact Mann Packing on their 24-hour consumer line at 888-470-2681 or visit veggiesmadeeasy.com/products. Customers can also contact Albertsons Companies at 1-877-723-3929 anytime.
