QUINCY, Mass., July 30, /PRNewswire/ -- The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company has announced a voluntary recall of Nature's Promise Alfalfa and Zesty Sprouts because they have the potential to be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.  Upon being notified of the recall by the supplier, Stop & Shop immediately removed all codes from sale of the following products:

To date, Stop & Shop has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause flu-like symptoms, like high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea.  Although healthy people rarely contract listeriosis, it can be very serious for those who are pregnant or those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.  Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness, but infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.

Customers who have purchased the affected products should discard any unused portions or bring their purchase receipt to Stop & Shop for a full refund.  Consumers may call Stop & Shop Customer Service at (800) 767-7772 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for more information.
