Thanks for posting this. We got an automated phone call from Costco over the weekend that we've bought one or more of those items. I need to go through my freezer and figure out which one(s).

Greencows4812 · April 2016

Yikes. Glad Costco informed you!

I got a call from Costco too. I was impressed that they notified us. I also need to go through my freezer.

Edit: Missing word

It's frozen vegetables, in case anyone is wondering. Link lists the specific types, but I figure that might help narrow down for people whether or not they need to click the link.

Wow thank you very much for the link. I had these organic frozen peas from costco as well, I have to check the date but I am not sure if I will use it even if it s a different use by date.

Thank you for posting this!

i read it and thought "thank god I have been too nauseous to eat any vegetables!" Then I remembered that last night, in a fit of virtuousness, I ate... Frozen organic peas.

I guess I'll be checking my freezer when I get home. I bought them at whole foods though, so hopefully I'm in the clear. And hopefully the giant pan of veggie paella I made last night with them is in the clear too because it was tasty.

Thank you for the update! That list must include nearly every brand and generic of frozen vegetables in the US now.

I know I freaked out because my in laws frequently shop at Costco and I had frozen broccoli at their house on Sunday night. I actually checked the link and thought to myself oh good there's no broccoli on the list. I was watching the news tonight and they said they had expanded it to now include broccoli and frozen fruit. Thankfully the brand they bought wasn't on that list!

Greencows4812 · May 2016

Is it just Costco? I don't recognize any of those brands.

whitneyf1 · May 2016

No it's not just Costco. I'm not sure of the other stores but I know Trader Joes was on there.

leaseee · May 2016

I came to the board to see if anyone had posted the expanded list...its huge!

Also Safeway and other various brands that probably any grocery store could potentially sell. So glad that Wegmans brand is safe!

My paella peas were on the new list. I already finished all the paella though, and I'm not sick so... fingers crossed that I either heated them enough or my bag wasn't contaminated.

I tossed the rest of the bag, of course.

Greencows4812 · May 2016

Thanks ladies. I'll keep an eye on the list but so far no brands from my local stores. Hope everyone stays safe.

Freaked out by this list. Ate the listed broccoli on monday. I have such horrible headaches all the time, might not be connected. The nurse at my midwife clinic just says to watch for flu like symptoms. That doesn't help at all with the anxiety.

LindsayLuLu27 · May 2016

At this point I'm just throwing all my frozen veggies away!! I'll just start over... Not worth the worry!!

Des321 · May 2016

I had a bag of fruit and veggies in my freezer that were recalled, thanks for posting this!

I have a ton of frozen stuff from Costco. They sent me an email, called me, and texted me. I wonder if I'm on high alert because I also bought prenatal vitamins from them haha. But it's annoying because it doesn't say what I bought that is possibly contaminated, just that something I bought was on the list. And I already ate some of it, ugh. This is probably a stupid question but I always cook the veggies per the instructions so wouldn't that kill listeria?

@aquasocks something like 65degrees Celsius - pasteurization and cooking kills listeria. So if you had boil

Boiled veggies, that works
