Chang Farm Bean Sprouts Recall
May 5, 2023
Information
Chang Farm has expanded its recall of Mung Bean Sprouts that was issued on Friday 5/5/23 to include all date codes within expiry because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes (L. Monocytogenes) contamination.
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.
Upon returning the product to your local Big Y or with the proof of purchase (if the product was discarded), you will receive a full refund.
The following products are sold at Big Y:
