Listeria is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be very serious for certain people like pregnant women, people older than 65, and people with weakened immune systems.

The biggest cause of Listeria is eating improperly processed deli meats and unpasteurized milk products.

The vegetable recall includes products that were packed between July 5-12 2024 and sold at Walmart stores.
