Avocados Recalled in Six States Over Listeria Contamination The Henry Avocado Corporation announced a voluntary recall on their California-grown avocados due to a possible contamination. A routine inspection of their new California facility revealed positive results for listeria. This infectious bacteria causes symptoms similar to food poisoning and can severely affect those with weakened immune systems. The recalled avocados were both conventional and organically grown, and were distributed in bulk to retail stores across six states. The affected states are Arizona, California, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin. The company is currently contacting buyers to ensure the recalled avocados are removed from stores. They have also urged consumers who have purchased the recalled avocados to discard them or return them for a full refund. In a statement, the company said that there have been no reported illnesses associated with their recall.
