A dozen products containing butternut squash have been recalled by Lancaster Farms, LLC, because they may contain listeria, a type of bacteria that can cause a serious infection.


The recalled products include several varieties of butternut squash noodles, precut squash chunks, and vegetable medleys that were sold in retail locations in 12 states, according to a press release posted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. These products were recalled in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately for fall-vegetable fans, this isn't the only butternut squash recall out there right now. Pero Family Farms recalled a whole bunch of processed squash products earlier this month, including some sold at Publix stores, all for possible listeria contamination.


There haven't been any illnesses reported in relation to either the Lancaster Farms or the Pero Family Farms recalls. But because listeria can cause severe symptoms, it's important to be aware of the recalled products.


Listeria is a type of bacteria that, if ingested, can cause an infection called listeriosis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains. For most people, listeriosis is a mild infection with symptoms similar to those of other food-borne illnesses, such as diarrhea and a fever. But if the infection spreads beyond the gut (invasive listeriosis), it can cause more serious issues—especially for pregnant people.


People who are pregnant and have a listeria infection may experience only mild symptoms, but the infection can lead to miscarriage and other pregnancy complications, the CDC says. In those who aren't pregnant, invasive listeriosis may cause symptoms such as muscle aches, fever, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and headaches.


If you think you may have purchased any of the recalled products, you can return them to the store for a full refund. And if you think you might be experiencing symptoms of a listeria infection, check in with your doctor.
