California grower recalls avocados over possible listeria
A Southern California company is voluntarily recalling whole avocados over possible #Listeria contamination.
Henry Avocado, a grower and distributor based near #SanDiego, said Saturday that the #Recall covers conventional and organic avocados grown and packed in California. The company says they were sold in bulk across #CA, #AZ, #FL, #WI, #NC and #NH.
There have been no reports of any illnesses associated with the avocados. The company says it issued the voluntary recall after a routine inspection of its packing plant revealed samples that tested positive for listeria. The company says avocados imported from #Mexico and distributed by Henry are not being recalled and are safe. Listeria is a bacteria that can cause fever and diarrhea, and more dangerous complications in pregnant women.
