Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Recalled for Listeria Risk

In April 2022, Bakkavor USA announced a recall for Whole Foods Market Red Lentil Dal due to a risk of food poisoning illnesses caused by an infection with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

What is the Problem?

No illnesses were reported. Instead, the problem was that Bakkavor used an ingredient — Pickled Curry Cauliflower — which was recalled by Doux South Specialties LLC. In response, Bakkavor USA said it “immediately ceased production and distribution” of the product.

Where Was It Sold?

The recalled Whole Foods Market Red Lentil Dal was sold in 12 oz plastic trays, UPC 1 95515 02394 8 with the following codes: USE BY 4/15/2022, USE BY 4/17/2022, USE BY 4/18/2022, USE BY 4/19/2022, USE BY 4/22/2022, USE BY 4/24/2022, USE BY 4/25/2022 & USE BY 4/26/2022.

The product was distributed to Whole Foods Market stores in every state except for Hawaii, including: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY.

What is Listeria?

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can survive on foods that do not seem spoiled, including foods in the refrigerator. Infections pose a serious risk for young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with vulnerable immune systems.

Pregnant women typically experience fever and other flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches or fatigue. Infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or a life-threatening infection in the newborn baby.

For non-pregnant people, the symptoms of a Listeria infection can include headache, stiff neck, convulsions, fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal symptoms similar to other food poisoning infections.
