Enoki Mushroom Listeria Recalls
UPDATED June 2, 2021 Five companies have issued recalls for enoki mushrooms that may be contaminated with Listeria. The recalled mushrooms were sold under the brand names Guan’s, Concord Farms, Conah, Rainfield Marketing Group, and Sun Hong Foods. These companies stated in their recall announcements that they were not aware of any illnesses associated with these products. However, anyone who has purchased these recalled enoki mushrooms should not eat them as Listeria can cause serious illness and death. And, among pregnant women, Listeria can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature delivery of an infected newborn.
These recalls follow a separate Guan’s enoki mushrooms recall in April 2021 and a recall for Golden Medal enoki mushrooms, also in April.

Symptoms of a Listeria Infection
Symptoms of a Listeria infection usually develop within two weeks of eating contaminated food but sometimes they can take as long as two months to develop. These symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, other muscle stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
