Alexia Organic Seasoned Hashbrowns

Lamb Weston has issued a recall out of an abundance of care for the product listed below. They have not received any direct consumer reports of confirmed illnesses related to this product.

The recall was initiated due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes, which was discovered during sampling of the product.

Although no illnesses have been identified in connection with the products, consumers should not eat any of the recalled items, as they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. While these products are not ready-to-eat items and have cooking instructions which, if followed, will reduce consumer risk, there remains some risk that the mishandling of this product prior to or without adequate cooking may cause illness.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Consumers are reminded not to consume any raw batter. Cake mixes and batter can be made with ingredients such as eggs or flour which can carry risks of bacteria that are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling.
