Trader Joe’s is working closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the source of the contamination and ensure that all affected products are removed from the market. The company has also taken steps to enhance its food safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
In the meantime, consumers are advised to thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled product to prevent the spread of Listeria bacteria. It is also important to monitor for any symptoms of Listeria infection and seek medical attention if necessary.
