Popular Dips Sold in Minnesota Recalled Due to Possible Health Risk

Another food recall has been announced in Minnesota due to a potential health risk.

This new, voluntary recall specific to Minnesota comes on the heels of a major listeria outbreak linked to a massive 7 million-pound Boars Head deli meat recall.

The latest fresh food recall also has potential contamination with Listeria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. However, Listeria infection can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Fresh Guacamole Products Sold Throughout Twin Cities Area Voluntarily Recalled

Metro Produce Distributors Inc. of Minneapolis has issued a voluntary recall of all Lunds & Byerlys fresh guacamole products with a use-by date of August 2, 2024, which means if you haven't already eaten it, you've likely already thrown it out.

The affected guacamole products were sold at Lunds & Byerlys grocery stores throughout the Twin Cities area and St. Cloud, as well as at select ‘Taco Mas’ food bars from July 27-31.

The products are packaged in clear plastic containers and include various sizes and types of guacamole. See the full list below.

No confirmed illnesses have been reported. The recall was prompted by routine sampling that indicated potential contamination.

Metro Produce has halted production and distribution of the products and is investigating the issue in collaboration with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are advised to destroy them or return them to any Lunds & Byerlys store for a full refund. For further inquiries, consumers can contact Metro Produce at 612-436-3825.
