Garden-Fresh Foods, INC. recalled Garden-Fresh, Onions Diced 1/4", 4/5 lb. 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 Nov 7, 2013.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling various cut vegetables, ready-to-eat salads, slaw, spread and dip products sold under various brands and code dates manufactured prior to November 06, 2013 because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes." 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 "IL, IN, MI, MN, MO, OH, PA, WI." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Milwaukee, WI. The recall covers 919,616.31 total pounds, for all products of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 25, 2013), 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.
