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.

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.
