A frozen foods company based out of Washington is voluntarily recalling fifteen frozen vegetable items that have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria.

Listeria was discovered through routine testing by state health officials in Ohio,according to the FDA.

Listeria was found to be present in one lot of Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) organic petite green peas and one lot of IQF organic white sweet cut corn.

The foods were produced by CRF Frozen Foods, which sells the items under a number of different brand names, including Wellesley Farms, which is sold in BJ's locations.

Recalled items were sold in plastic bags and are marked with Use By Dates located on the back of the package.

The frozen vegetables were distributed to retailers and distribution centers between September 13, 2015 and March 16.

No illnesses have been reported to date, but the company is recalling the products as a precaution.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Consumers who purchased these products may take them back to the store where they purchased them for a refund.
