USA – Goya Adobo Recalled for Possible Listeria Contamination

Food Poisoning Bulletin

Goya de Puerto Rico is recalling Adobo with Cumin Seasoning and Adobo with Pepper Seasoning because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the problem.

Six hundred and sixty one cases of these products were distributed in Puerto Rico through retail stores. Goya Adobo with Cumin Seasoning is packaged in 28 ounce plastic jars with a green cap with the mark “Best by Date 10/18/22.” Goya Adobo with Pepper Seasoning is packaged in 28 ounce plastic jars with a red cap with the mark “Best by Date 10/23/22.”

If you purchased these products, do not eat them, even if you intend to cook with them. Heat does kill Listeria bacteria, but cross-contamination can occur. Throw them away in a sealed or double bagged package and place the package in a secure garbage can. You can also take the seasonings back to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
