Publix is urging consumers to throw away or return its 7.05-ounce containers of cranberry nut and seed mix because the product may have Listeria. The supermarket chain issued a voluntarily recall after the company’s walnut supplier, Woodstock Farms, alerted Publix about possible contamination.
The cranberry nut and seed mix was sold in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina and has best-by dates of Aug. 6-30, 2016. The UPC is 41415-34986. Listeria can cause symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Young children, frail or elderly people, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk of developing a serious or sometimes fatal infection with Listeria exposure. To ask questions, call Publix at 800-242-1227 or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at 888-SAFEFOOD (888-723-3366).
