Peas, Carrots and Mixed Vegetables recalled as Listeria Outbreak announced

ENDICO POTATOES of MOUNT VERNON NY is recalling Endico brand PEAS AND CARROTS AND MIXED VEGETABLES, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, 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.

The recalled products were distributed to NY, NJ, PA, CT, MD, DC, FL through local distributors between 7/18/25 and 8/4/25.

The product was packed in frozen 2.5lb clear plastic bags under the Endico label. The lot code of the affected product is

The recall was the result of sampling done by the state of Pennsylvania at one of our distributors which revealed that the finished products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The company has ceased distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
