Willard, OH (July 22, 2024) – Out of an abundance of caution, Wiers Farm Inc. of Willard, OH, is expanding its July 12, 2024, recall to include additional produce because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Wiers Farm Inc., in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), began its investigation in response to original findings reported by the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDARD). This expansion is in response to that investigation. Products involved in this expanded recall were packed between July 5-12 (2024). Wiers Farm Inc. is committed to implementing all measures necessary to fully resolve this situation.
There have been no illnesses or consumer complaints reported to date.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today states that it has been highlighted at EU level that there have been a low, but persistent, number of foodborne illnesses related to the consumption of raw or uncooked beans. These foodborne illnesses relate to the presence of naturally occurring lectins, which are found in some varieties of fresh and dried beans.
Lectins are proteins found in many plants such as tomatoes, potatoes and whole grains. However, legumes (green beans, lentils, peas, kidney beans, French beans, sugar snap peas, etc.) contain the highest amounts of lectins. Properly prepared legumes are a low-cost source of nutrients which are important in maintaining good health. They are considered a source of good quality protein and soluble fibre and are low in fat and calories. However, it is the consumption of uncooked or insufficiently prepared legumes that can cause illness in some consumers due to the presence of lectins.
The FSAI recommends that consumers take the precautions in the link above to reduce or eliminate the harmful properties of lectins, thereby making legumes safe to eat:

The product “Gorgonzola piccante DOP” from Italy is withdrawn from the market. The reason is the discovery of the bacterium Listeria Monocytogenes in cheese which has been distributed to several countries, including Norway.
The product is sold on to all Coop stores, as well as restaurants and wholesalers.
Listeria can cause a particular risk of serious illness in pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems. Listeria can grow at low temperatures, and in foods with a long shelf life it can grow to a high number of bacteria. The bacterium survives freezing.
The importers state that consumers who have bought the product can return it to the store or throw it away.
