“This voluntary recall was the result of notification of possible Listeria contamination from Race West Company, a supplier of butternut squash to Pero Family Farms,” FDA said. “Pero Family Farms Food Company, LLC has temporarily halted production of these items as all parties continue their investigation into this issue.”
The recalled butternut squash was distributed from Jan. 2-11, 2021, to the following states: Louisiana, Florida, Texas, New York, Maine, Georgia, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama, Virginia and Missouri. The product is packaged in flexible clear plastic containers with labeling on the top and bottom of the container or in a clear plastic bag. The product run number code and “use by” date can be found on the front bottom right hand corner of the tray package or on the package.
Consumers who purchased any recalled butternut squash should either throw it away or return it for a full refund.
If you ate any of the above products and are now suffering from symptoms of a listeria infection — fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea — you should call your doctor immediately.
