On April 11, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a recall of celery sticks due to the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes. This bio-contaminant poses significant health risks, prompting the immediate response from food safety officials.
The recall specifically involves celery sticks marketed under a certain label, which have been identified as potentially contaminated. Listeria Monocytogenes is known for causing listeriosis, a serious infection that can be particularly dangerous for certain populations, including pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for the affected celery sticks and to discard any products that may be included in this recall. The FDA has emphasized the importance of food safety and the need for vigilance in the home kitchen, especially when it comes to fresh produce.
This incident underscores the ongoing efforts of regulatory agencies to monitor food safety and protect public health. Further updates and detailed information regarding the recall can be expected from official sources as investigations continue.
