Plain-English summary

Garden-Fresh Foods, Inc. is recalling specific varieties of deviled egg potato salads, including Grandpas Deviled Egg Potato Salad and Copperwood Kitchens Deviled Egg Potato Salad. The recall is being conducted because the products contain onions that were previously recalled by Gills Onions due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The affected products were distributed in Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. The source text notes that other recalled items, such as slaw, salsa, bean and dips, also contained the affected onions, but this specific recall notice focuses on the deviled egg potato salads.

Consumers who have purchased these products should stop consuming them immediately. The recall is driven by the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen that can cause serious illness, particularly in high-risk groups.
