A significant recall has been announced for frozen broccoli florets sold at Walmart stores across 20 states, as they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause severe health issues. The recall affects frozen broccoli florets packaged by Braga Fresh and sold under various brand names including Great Value. The impacted products have best-by dates ranging from December 2023 to 2024. The recall was initiated after routine testing revealed the presence of Listeria. According to the CDC, Listeria infection may cause fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly posing a serious risk to pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Consumers are advised not to consume the affected products and to return them to the store for a full refund.
