NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Some Muffins sold at Walmart, 7-Eleven, Stop & Shop and other grocery stores are being recalled over a possible listeria contamination.
The muffins are manufactured by Give and Go Prepared Foods and are sold under a variety of names included Uncle Wally’s, Marketside, The Worthy Crumb and some store brands – such as Walmart’s Great Value and 7-Eleven Selects.
The nationwide recall was voluntarily issued after the company found that the product could be potential contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious and even fatal infections in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
A full list of recalled products is available on the Food and Drug Administration’s website.
No other Give and Go products are affected, and the recall does not affect products in countries other than the United States.
“We became aware of this issue as part of our environmental monitoring program. To date, we have received no reports of illness related to this issue and are taking this action out of an abundance of caution,” the FDA said in a statement.
Consumers who purchased the products are encouraged to dispose of them immediately and not eat them. Consumers can contact the company at 1-844-366-1171 to obtain more information about the recall.
