Some brands of frozen vegetables have been recalled from stores in New Jersey and elsewhere because of a serious, sometimes fatal contamination risk.

CRF Frozen Foods of Pasco, Washington is voluntarily recalling 15 frozen vegetable items that have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The organism is also a risk for frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women, according to the FDA. No illnesses have been reported to date, but the company is recalling the products as a precaution. The Listeria was discovered through routine testing by state health officials in Ohio, the FDA said in a release.

Listeria monocytogenes was found to be present in one lot of Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) organic petite green peas and one lot of IQF organic white sweet cut corn. Recalled items were sold in plastic bags and are marked with "Use By Dates" located on the back of the package.
