(NEXSTAR) – A possible listeria contamination has prompted a flurry of recalls recently of vegetables , salsas and deli meat . Kroger shoppers in five states are once again being asked to check their fridges for products that may be contaminated.
The products under recall were purchased from Wiers Farm in Willard, Ohio, and sold at Kroger stores in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.
All the recalled products, from guacamole to chopped herbs and diced vegetables, were “packaged in clear-plastic grab-n-go containers,” according to an FDA recall notice . They’re being recalled over fears they may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, commonly known as listeria.
