Mushroom Recall Lawsuit Overview

On July 10, 2025, Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited and the FDA recalled Aunt Mid’s Fresh Sliced Mushrooms, Peeters Mushroom Farm Cremini Sliced, and Peeters Mushroom Farm Thick Slice Mushrooms after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency detected Listeria monocytogenes contamination in the 227 g sliced mushroom packages. The products were sold in Michigan and Ohio and pose a serious risk of listeriosis, a potentially life‑threatening infection—especially for pregnant individuals, elderly, and immunocompromised persons.

Latest Peeters Mushrooms Lawsuit Updates

  • July 10, 2025 – Wiet Peeters Farm Products announces recall of three sliced mushroom products sold in Michigan and Ohio for potential Listeria contamination [1.].

Peeters Mushrooms Lawsuit Statistics

  • Products recalled: Aunt Mid’s Fresh Sliced Mushrooms (227 g), Peeters Cremini Sliced (227 g), Peeters Thick Slice (10 lb box).
  • Distribution area: Michigan and Ohio retail outlets.
  • Reported illnesses: No confirmed cases to date, but Listeria contamination is class 1 level—a serious foodborne risk.
  • High‑risk groups: Pregnant individuals, immunocompromised persons, elderly, and young children.

Design Defect & Hazard Analysis

The contamination resulted from Listeria monocytogenes found in 227 g packages, pointing to failure in sanitation or food safety controls at Wiet Peeters’s facility. Listeria can survive refrigeration, posing ongoing hazards. This defect supports strong legal claims based on negligence, strict liability, breach of implied warranty, and failure to warn.

Injuries & Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal illness: Symptoms included fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe abdominal pain.
  • Invasive listeriosis: High-risk individuals could face sepsis, meningitis, fetal loss, stillbirth, or death.
  • Neurological impact: Risk increases in immunocompromised or elderly persons—classic outcomes include headache and neck stiffness.

Do You Qualify?

You may qualify if:

  • You purchased or consumed the recalled mushrooms in Michigan or Ohio between May and July 2025;
  • You experienced confirmed or suspected listeriosis symptoms;
  • You fall into a high-risk category (pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised) and consumed the mushroom products;
  • You sought medical attention and have test results or doctor’s notes;
  • You retained proof of purchase or recalls, including packaging, receipts, or store records.

Evidence Required for a Claim

  • Proof of purchase or consumption: Receipt, packaging with date codes, or photos.
  • Medical documentation: Lab-confirmed diagnosis, doctor or hospital records.
  • Product packaging: UPC codes (227 g blue or black plastic packages; 10 lb box) and best‑by date 25JL04.
  • Symptoms timeline: Documentation of onset and severity of illness.
  • Recall confirmation: Screenshot or print of FDA recall notice.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Medical expenses: ER visits, hospitalization, medication, lab tests;
  • Pain & suffering: Physical discomfort and emotional distress;
  • Lost income: Days off work or caregiving;
  • Future medical care: For long-term complications;
  • Punitive damages: Possible if gross negligence is proven in food safety systems.

Recall Instructions & Consumer Guidance

  • Recall date: July 10, 2025.
  • What to do: Do not consume; discard or return to the retailer for a full refund.
  • Consumer contact: Wiet Peeters Farm Products at 1‑519‑351‑1945 or toll‑free 1‑800‑364‑1305.
  • Health advice: Monitor for listeriosis symptoms—seek medical help, especially if pregnant or high-risk.
