"The frozen green peas and frozen mixed vegetables are being recalled as a precaution with the health and safety of consumers as top priority.
"The recall was the result of a sample tested by the company which revealed that the finished products may potentially be contaminated with the bacteria," according to a statement by the National Frozen Foods Corporation.
The company says so far no one reportedly has gotten sick from the frozen veggies.
According to the FDA, Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthier people could experience high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria also has been known to cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
