Hofood99 Inc., a company based in Brooklyn, is recalling packages of Enoki mushrooms because they could be contaminated with listeria.
The contamination was discovered after samples collected from a store in Michigan and subsequent analysis found the presence of listeria monocytogenes. The organisms can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
No illnesses have been reported in connection to the recall, the FDA announced on Wednesday.
