Mushroom Recall Lawsuit Overview
On July 10, 2025, Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited and the FDA recalled Aunt Mid’s Fresh Sliced Mushrooms (227 g), along with Peeters Cremini Sliced and Thick Slice Mushrooms, following the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s detection of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in the 227 g sliced packages sold in Michigan and Ohio. These products violate safe food standards and pose high risk of serious foodborne illness, especially for vulnerable populations.

Aunt Mid’s Mushrooms Lawsuit Statistics
- Products recalled: Aunt Mid’s Fresh Sliced Mushrooms (227 g), Peeters Cremini Sliced (227 g), Thick Slice Mushrooms (10 lb box).
- Distribution: Sold in retail stores across Michigan and Ohio.
- Illness reports: No confirmed cases yet, but contamination is classified as a Class I recall—a serious health risk.
- At‑risk groups: Pregnant individuals, infants, elderly, and immunocompromised people are most vulnerable to severe infection.
Design Defect & Hazard Analysis
FDA and Canadian authorities found Listeria contamination in the 227 g sliced mushroom packages, indicating failure in sanitary processing, packaging, or quality control at the Wiet Peeters facility. Listeria can survive refrigeration temperatures and is especially dangerous for high‑risk populations. This product defect supports legal claims under negligence, strict liability, breach of implied warranty, and failure to warn.
Injuries & Side Effects
- Gastrointestinal illness: Symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
- Invasive listeriosis: Can lead to sepsis, meningitis, fetal loss, stillbirth, or death in high‑risk individuals.
- Neurological effects: Headache, muscle stiffness, and altered mental status may occur in severe cases.
