In July 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class I recall—its most serious type—for several mushroom products potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous foodborne bacteria. While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA warns that consuming the recalled mushrooms could cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially among the most vulnerable populations.

🦠What Is Listeria and Why Is This Serious?
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause severe and sometimes deadly infections, especially in:
Newborns Elderly adults Pregnant women (can cause miscarriage or stillbirth) People with weakened immune systems
Symptoms can include:
High fever Headache Stiff neck Nausea and diarrhea Confusion or loss of balance
Because of the high risk of hospitalization or death, the FDA labeled this a Class I recall, reserved only for the most dangerous contamination threats.
âś… What You Should Do
Check your fridge: If you recently bought packaged mushrooms from a supermarket or restaurant supply store in New York, Michigan, or Ohio, double-check the labels. Do not eat the recalled products. Dispose of the mushrooms safely or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. If symptoms of Listeria appear after consuming mushrooms, seek medical attention immediately.
🚨 No Illnesses Yet—But Don’t Wait
While no confirmed illnesses have been linked to these products so far, Listeria symptoms can take days—or even weeks—to appear. This makes early action critical.
🛡️ Food Safety Tips
Always wash hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling raw produce. Cook mushrooms and other vegetables thoroughly to reduce contamination risk. When in doubt, throw it out—especially when there’s a known recall.
Stay informed. Stay safe.
