Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recalling Seasonal Blend products (10oz, 16oz, and 32oz packages) manufactured by Country Fresh Inc. due to a potential risk of Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recall affects 36,983 cases distributed across multiple states including Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Consumers are advised to dispose of these products immediately or contact their retailer for guidance on returning them.

The primary hazard identified is Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen that can cause serious illness.

The product description specifies clear plastic containers, and the recall number is F-0085-2021.

This is a precautionary recall aimed at preventing potential foodborne illness. The distribution pattern spans nine states, indicating widespread exposure. Consumers should not consume these products and should follow local health department recommendations for disposal.
