Produce Recall Extended to Include Michigan Kroger, Save A Lot Stores

Last week, we informed you of a massive recall of cucumbers sold at Walmart locations in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Today, that recall has been extended to include additional produce items sold at various retail locations in 15 additional states.

Cucumbers, Peppers, Green Beans, and More

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended the July 12 recall to include additional products manufactured by Wiers Farm Inc. of Willard, Ohio. The recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution, as produce could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

According to the FDA, the products involved in the expanded recall were packed between July 5 and July 12 and distributed at the following Michigan retailers:

• Walmart
• Kroger
• Save A Lot
