Company Announcement

LLK TRADING INC. of Linden, NJ, is recalling its 200g packages of "Needle Mushrooms" because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. The recalled "Needle Mushrooms" were distributed to Bally Produce Corp. located at 4900 Maspeth Ave, Maspeth, NY 11378, and was sold to DATANG SUPERMARKET INC.

The product comes in a 200 gram, clear plastic packaging on the top and blue (non-transparent) on the bottom.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the FDA revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the package they sampled.

Vending of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continues their investigation as to the source of the contamination.

Consumers who have purchased the 200 gram packages of "Needle Mushrooms" are urged not to consume the products and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company Monday to Friday 9:30am to 3:00pm (EST) at (908)-290-3061.
