Harvest NYC Inc is recalling enoki mushrooms due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can lead to severe foodborne illness, particularly among vulnerable demographics such as pregnant women and the elderly. The recall, impacting 200-gram packages shipped nationwide from January to March 2025, is part of a worrying trend with listeria outbreaks linked to Brooklyn food distributors. The FDA's alert follows a previous recall of another supplier's mushrooms earlier this year, though no illnesses have been reported from this latest incident.
The contamination of enoki mushrooms from Harvest NYC Inc poses a serious health risk, especially to vulnerable populations, following a nationwide recall due to a listeria outbreak.
Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, which can lead to severe health issues like meningitis; the most vulnerable populations face a 20-30% mortality risk.
Infection from listeria typically impacts pregnant women, young children, and the elderly, making the recent recall of enoki mushrooms particularly alarming.
No illnesses have yet been reported from the latest recall, which affects enoki mushrooms shipped nationwide between January and March 2025.
