The Canadian notice lists the 227 g Sliced Mushrooms as UPC 0 33383 67600 5, with the same BEST BEFORE 25JL04 code.

Why Were Peeters Mushrooms Recalled?

Peeters mushrooms were recalled because testing by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency revealed Listeria monocytogenes in 227 g packages of Fresh Sliced Mushrooms. The other recalled products were made on the same line. The FDA notice says the mushrooms have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria. CFIA test results triggered the recall, the Canadian notice says. The CDC describes Listeria infection as an illness caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria bacteria [4]. The infection can be very serious for some groups of people. The company says Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The FDA notice reports no illnesses linked to the recalled mushrooms. The CDC says symptoms of invasive listeriosis typically bring fever and flu-like symptoms, such as aches and fatigue [5]. In people who are not pregnant, symptoms can also include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures. Intestinal illness causes diarrhea and vomiting.

What Should Consumers Do?

Take these steps if you bought Aunt Mid’s or Peeters sliced mushrooms:

1. Check whether you have the recalled products, using the UPC and the BEST BEFORE 25JL04 code.

4. Call Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited at 1-519-351-1945 or toll free 1-800-364-1305, 7:00am-3:30pm EST, Monday to Friday. You can also call the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
5. If you ate the mushrooms and have a fever and symptoms such as fatigue and muscle aches, contact a healthcare provider. Tell them early if you are pregnant, 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system.

Legal Options

No lawsuit, class action or MDL over the Peeters or Aunt Mid’s mushroom recall has been filed. A recall does not automatically entitle anyone to compensation. Anyone who became ill after eating the recalled mushrooms can keep the product, packaging and receipts. They can also see a doctor and ask a lawyer to review their situation. Records worth keeping include packages showing the UPC and BEST BEFORE 25JL04 code, photographs, medical records and notes of symptoms and dates.
