If you’re a fan of kale, this recall is for you. Earlier this week, Baker Farms issued a recall for three kale products over concerns they might be contaminated with listeria. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the following products are included in the recall:

Product	Size	UPC	Production Code	BEST BY
Baker Farms Kale	1 lb	8 13098 02001 6	107020-21832	09-18-2021
Kroger Kale	1 lb	0 11110 18170 1	107020-21832	09-18-2021
SEG Grocers Kale	1 lb	0 38259 11482 7	107020-21832	09-18-2021

Fortunately, there have been no illnesses linked to the recall. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious illnesses, though. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and anyone with a weakened immune system are most vulnerable to infection. Symptoms may include the following: high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.For now, consumers who have the product in their homes should either throw it away or return it for a full refund. If you have additional questions or concerns about the recall, contact Mr. Richard G. Baker at richard@bakerfamilyproduce.com or by phone at 229-769-3113.
