Tesoros Trading CO. recalled Trader Joe's Lightly Salted Edamame: in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 16, 2020.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Firm routine testing resulted in a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in one bag of frozen edamame." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "AZ, CA, NV, UT." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Las Vegas, NV. The recall covers 352 cases ( 24 x 16 oz. per case) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 6, 2021), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
