Endico Recalls Frozen Peas And Carrots & Mixed Vegetables Over Listeria Scare

Endico recall: quick summary

Endico Potatoes Inc. has issued a recall on its frozen Peas and Carrots, as well as Mixed Vegetables, after Pennsylvania state testing detected the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products, which come in 2.5lb clear plastic bags under the Endico label, were distributed between July 18 and August 4, 2025, across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Florida. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the specific lot codes (110625 for Peas and Carrots [use by 6/10/27] and 170625 for Mixed Vegetables [use by 6/16/27]) and avoid consuming them due to the potential contamination risk.

What happened?

On September 3, 2025, Endico Potatoes Inc. issued a recall of its Frozen Peas and Carrots and Mixed Vegetables after routine testing in Pennsylvania revealed the dreaded Listeria flag. The frozen goodies were shipped across NY, NJ, PA, CT, MD, DC, and FL between July 18 and August 4, 2025. No illnesses have been reported, but Endico hit the brakes on distribution while the FDA investigates.

What caused the issue?

Listeria strikes again! Specifically, Listeria monocytogenes: a bacterium that thrives in cold storage (rude, right?). While most healthy folks may just ride out some fever, nausea, and tummy troubles, the bug can be deadly for young kids, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. Worst-case scenario? Miscarriages and stillbirths.
