Mann Packing Recalls Shaved Brussels Sprouts for Listeria Risk

Mann Packing Company is recalling shaved Brussels sprouts sold under HEB, Mann's, and Hungryroot brands due to a positive Listeria monocytogenes test.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of a confirmed Listeria monocytogenes positive result in a ready-to-eat food product elevates the risk to Critical (5) per the rubric for high-risk pathogens.
