The FDA has issued a recall of several vegetable products grown and distributed by Growers Express—which are sold by several brands that include Trader Joe’s, Signature Farms, and Green Giant Express—over possible listeria contamination, the organization announced on July 1, 2019. As of now, there have been no reported illnesses associated with this recall, which was voluntarily issued by Growers Express.

The source of the contamination was traced back to a Growers Express facility in Biddeford, Maine, and the FDA notes that “most of the affected products are labeled with a 'Best If Used By' date of June 26 to June 29, 2019.” The affected products include cut and packaged vegetables such as cauliflower, diced butternut squash, and zucchini, and were distributed to retailers across multiple states.
