Broccoli sold by Walmart in 20 U.S. states recalled over listeria risk

Bags of broccoli florets sold at Walmart stores in 20 U.S. states are being recalled after random testing found listeria in one sample of the product, according to a notice published earlier this week by the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall involves 12-ounce bags of washed, ready-to-eat Marketside Broccoli Florets sourced to Soledad, California-based Braga Fresh and sold at more than 1,000 Walmart stores in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming (See here for the list of store locations.)  

"The potential for contamination was discovered during random sampling by Texas Health & Human Services from a Texas store location where one of multiple samples yielded a positive test result," Braga stated in its recall notice.
