CDC warns against kissing small turtles over salmonella risk
24 August 2023
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Federal health officials say a U.S. company is voluntarily recalling frozen corn and mixed vegetable products over fears of listeria contamination.
The Food and Drug Administration said on its website that Twin City Foods, Inc. of Stanwood, Washington, is recalling a limited amount of Not-Ready-To Eat Individually Quick Frozen Super Sweet Cut Corn and Mixed Vegetables in retail bags. This is due to a potential contamination risk involving listeria monocytogenes which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals. Also, it can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The FDA said the products were distributed to retail locations nationally, including in Kansas. No other products are impacted by this recall. A full list of products included in the recall can be found below:
