I hate to be the barer of bad news, especially on a Sunday morning, but we’ve got another recall to let you know about!
After a recall of this product in another country, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall for Organic by Nature brand frozen Organic Sweet Peas due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
Organic by Nature brand frozen Organic Sweet Peas was sold at Costco warehouse in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
If you have the recalled products in your home, throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased.
There recall in the US for this brand includes 8 different products. So far, only the peas have been recalled in Canada. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public.
