Produce supplier Wiers Farm Inc., based in Willard, Ohio, has expanded its vegetable recall as a precaution due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination
The investigation was initiated by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, with the Ohio Department of Agriculture conducting its own examination. The expanded recall affects produce packed between July 5-12 and distributed to retailers in 13 states, including Walmart, Aldi, Save A Lot, and Kroger. The produce is available in bags, individually, or by the pound. To date, no illnesses have been reported. For a list of products under the expanded recall, click here.

These cucumbers were distributed to Walmart locations in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
