Avocados Recalled<br />in Six States Over<br />Listeria Contamination The Henry Avocado Corporation<br />announced a voluntary recall on<br />their California-grown avocados<br />due to a possible contamination. A routine inspection of their<br />new California facility revealed<br />positive results for listeria. This infectious bacteria causes<br />symptoms similar to food poisoning<br />and can severely affect those with<br />weakened immune systems. The recalled avocados were both<br />conventional and organically grown,<br />and were distributed in bulk to<br />retail stores across six states. The affected states are Arizona,<br />California, Florida, New Hampshire,<br />North Carolina and Wisconsin. The company is currently<br />contacting buyers to ensure<br />the recalled avocados are<br />removed from stores. They have also urged consumers<br />who have purchased the recalled<br />avocados to discard them or<br />return them for a full refund. In a statement, the company<br />said that there have been<br />no reported illnesses<br />associated with their recall.
