   PASCO, Wash., — As a precaution, CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco,   
   Washington is expanding its voluntary recall of frozen organic   
   and traditional fruits and vegetables. We are performing this   
   voluntary recall in cooperation with the Food and Drug   
   Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and   
   Prevention (CDC) because these products have the potential to be   
   contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The organism 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.   
      
   This expanded recall of frozen vegetables includes all of the   
   frozen organic and traditional fruit and vegetable products   
   manufactured or processed in CRF Frozen Foods' Pasco facility   
   since May 1, 2014. All affected products have the best by dates   
   or sell by dates between April 26, 2016 and April 26, 2018.   
   These include approximately 358 consumer products sold under 42   
   separate brands, the details of which are listed below. Products   
   include organic and non-organic broccoli, butternut squash,   
   carrots, cauliflower, corn, edamame, green beans, Italian beans,   
   kale, leeks, lima beans, onions, peas, pepper strips, potatoes,   
   potato medley, root medley, spinach, sweet potatoes, various   
   vegetable medleys, blends, and stir fry packages, blueberries,   
   cherries, cranberries, peaches, raspberries, and strawberries.   
   For a complete list of affected products, see below.   
      
   We apologize for any concern or inconvenience this expanded   
   recall has caused our customers and consumers who enjoy our   
   products. We are issuing this release to alert consumers not to   
   eat these products. Consumers who purchased these products may   
   return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund,   
   or simply discard them. Consumers with questions may call the   
   company's consumer hotline at 844.483.3866, Monday through   
   Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.   
      
   CRF had already suspended operations at its Pasco, Washington   
   facility as of Monday morning, April 25, 2016 following the   
   initial voluntary recall, so a thorough review could be   
   conducted.   
      
   CDC has informed CRF Frozen Foods that the government has   
   identified seven people from three states who became ill and   
   were hospitalized due to Listeria. Some of these illnesses have   
   been linked to consuming CRF-manufactured or processed products.   
   CDC also informed us that, sadly, two of these individuals later   
   died, but that Listeria was not the cause of death in either   
   person.   
      
   All retailers who received the products have been contacted.   
      
   Products being recalled may have been purchased in all fifty   
   U.S. states and the following Canadian Provinces: British   
   Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
