An assortment of frozen vegetables sold at Smith's Food and Drug Stores have been recalled because the food may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. The bacterium can cause a serious infection, especially among older adults, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kroger, the Ohio-based parent company of Smith's, announced the multi-state recall Monday. The products, which have been pulled from store shelves, may be returned for a full refund, officials said.
