Plain-English summary
Lipari Foods, Inc. is recalling 85 cases of 9-ounce bags of sliced raw almonds (Item Number 193061, UPC 070207000110). The recall is due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
The affected product was distributed in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. The recall includes specific lot numbers 08201304, 23201305, and 03201306, with best-by dates of 4/8/2014, 5/23/2014, and 6/3/2014.
