ABBOTSFORD, BC, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - NATURE'S
TOUCH FROZEN FOODS (WEST) INC. ("Nature's Touch") is
voluntarily recalling Signature Select Avocado Chunks, with a best
before date of Oct 11, 20, due to
potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes (the
"Product").
Nature's Touch is issuing this voluntary recall based on strict
precautionary measures after the company was informed by the FDA
that a routine sampling program found a positive result for
Listeria monocytogenes in one sample bag of the
Product.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which 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.
To date, there have been no reported illnesses associated with
the product that is the subject of this precautionary recall:
