The FDA defines a Class 1 recall as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." Braga Fresh, a California-based company, voluntarily issued the recall on December 27, 2024, citing the possibility that the broccoli florets had been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
"This product is past its best if used by date and is no longer in stores,” a press release issued by the FDA reads. The notice goes on to explain that while “consumers may have frozen the item for later use,” they are urged not to consume it and rather “discard the product” altogether.
"Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women," noted the press release.
What we know as of now is that Texas Health & Human Services discovered the possible contamination by way of random sampling at a Texas Walmart. Multiple samples came up with a positive test result for Listeria during the investigation.
Each individual product involved in the recall will sport a UPC code of 6 81131 32884 5 on the back of the bag and a “best if used by” date of Dec 10, 2024 and Lot Code of BFFG327A6. Those with further questions or concerns can reach out to Braga Fresh at 877-456-7445, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST, or email WeCare@bragafresh.com.
