Utopia Foods Inc of Glendale, NY, is recalling its 200g packages of "Enoki Mushrooms", imported from China because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled "Enoki Mushrooms" were distributed nationwide in produce wholesale companies. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.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.
The product comes in a 200g, clear and blue plastic package with brand name "Utopia" and barcode# 8928918610017 marked on the packaging.
