| | Tesoros Trading Co. from Las Vegas, NV is recalling certain codes of frozen "Trader Joe's Lightly Salted Edamame" because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

All affected product has been removed from sale and destroyed. The product comes in a 16 ounce plastic package and is stamped on the back bottom portion of the package with lots: 22LA102 M
or
22LA102 N
