LOS ANGELES - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting consumers of a recall of several brands of kale sold in nearly a dozen states due to concerns about listeria contamination.
The FDA issued an alert on Sept. 16 saying several brands of kale — including Baker Farms, Kroger and SEG Grocers — have recalled their produce after a customer reported that their products tested positive for listeria.
The contaminated products had a best-by date of Sept. 18 and were sold in packaged one-pound plastic bags in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Ohio and Virginia between Aug.
