The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already made several food recalls during the first days of April that might now be sitting in your kitchen. The majority of these products have been contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.
The federal agency urges consumers to check their recent grocery purchases. In case one of the affected products is found, buyers should stop using them.
Here are three food items — especially veggies — you need to be aware of right now:
