On February 23, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of frozen supplemental shakes due to the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes. This bio-contaminant poses significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations.
The recall was initiated in response to findings from routine testing that identified the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes in the affected product. This organism is known to cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to severe complications.
Consumers are advised to check their freezers for these frozen supplemental shakes and to refrain from consuming any products that may be involved in this recall. The FDA is actively monitoring the situation and has provided guidance for those who may have purchased the affected items.
The detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in food products underscores the importance of food safety and the ongoing efforts to ensure that food items meet health standards. Further updates from the FDA will provide additional information regarding this recall and any necessary actions for consumers.
