Broccoli sold at Walmart recalled in 20 states

Broccoli sold at Walmart stores in 20 states has been recalled.

Braga Fresh last week issued a voluntary and precautionary advisory for 12-ounce bags of Marketside Broccoli Florets that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which posted the advisory Tuesday, the pathogen can cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections" in young children, elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

It causes symptoms like high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, the FDA said. For pregnant women, the infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, according to the agency.

Braga Fresh said the potentially contaminated broccoli is past its "best if used by date" and no longer in stores, but said consumers who have the product in their freezers for later use should discard it.

The product was only sold at Walmart, according to the advisory. It was distributed to stores in Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

No illnesses have yet been reported in connection with the product, the advisory said.
