The three lots of vegan Just Egg Chopped Spring Greens made by the Alameda, California based company, Eat Just, Inc., were recalled from stores in Arizona, California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas, the FDA confirms. The 12 ounce packages are identifiable by their UPC code (1 91011 00101 5), and have the use by dates June 10, June 29, and June 30, 2023. If you have purchased products that match these specifications, the FDA recommends either throwing them out or returning them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.
Listeria symptoms like fever, vomiting, and diarrhea typically occur within two weeks of eating contaminated food, observes the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the most serious cases affecting the very young (newborns), the very old (seniors), pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. Since only 21 packages of Just Egg Chopped Spring Greens were sold, per the FDA, the potential for listeria infections (listeria monocytogenes refers to the specific germ, notes the CDC) is very limited. But if listeria symptoms do occur, the CDC recommends seeking medical treatment.
