ALDI issues recall for frozen sweet peas

Do you have some sweet peas in your freezer? If you bought them at an ALDI store, you should check to see if they are part of a recall the grocery store chain issued Tuesday.

Supplier Lakeside Foods Inc. and ALDI recalled Season’s Choice frozen sweet peas because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen that causes serious infection.

After the supplier notified the grocery chain of the possible contamination, ALDI removed the affected product from its stores.

The potentially affected product is packaged in a 16-ounce bag, has the UPC code 041498164294 and contains one of the following packaging codes and best-by dates on the back of the bag:

The Season’s Choice frozen sweet peas were sold at ALDI locations in Illinois, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.

No illnesses have been reported, and no other ALDI products are affected by this recall.
