I’m a huge fan of Costco but if you’ve bought any if their frozen vegetables, you need to check them carefully. They are supposedly contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No one has gotten sick but when I did a bit of research on Listeria, I discovered that it’s a pathogen to avoid.
This is what the CDC has to say about Listeria:
The disease primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. However, rarely, persons without these risk factors can also be affected.
