Veggie Patch Falafel Recall (Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation / December 4, 2012) |
Veggie Patch has issued a recall for its 9-ounce trays of refrigerated, fully cooked falafel because of possible listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The products being recalled have a UPC code of “6-10129-06619-3” with a use-by date of “Jan/15/2013,” and were sold nationwide last month.
