Avocado Recall

Marp · ‎03-09-2010

Henry Avocado has announced a voluntary recall of avocados in six states following the discovery of listeria in the company’s California facility, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall applies to all shipments from the California packing facility that the company began using in January. This includes avocados shipped to California, North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

The recalled avocados are identifiable by yellow stickers reading “Bravacado” and “California” and, in the case of the organic avocados, yellow and green stickers reading “Organic” and “California,” according to the FDA.

Avocados the company imports from Mexico are unaffected by the recall.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

@Marp, Thank you so much!

It’s gotten to the point where everything that we eat is being recalled at one time or another.What’s left?

Thanks for the warning, Marp. We eat about 3 avocados a week, but live in CT so no problem.

I feel the same way! Seems like California has been having a lot of problems with produce safety over the last year or so. I'm looking forward to locall framer's market this summer.
