The Food and Drug Administration and Treehouse Foods Inc. have recalled multiple brands of frozen waffles due to listeria contamination.  This bacterium causes a severe and sometimes fatal systemic infection in the very young, older frail individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.  Listeria can also trigger miscarriages and stillbirths. 


Affected are the following brands: Best Choice, Breakfast Best, Clover Valley, Compliments, Essentials, Food Lion, FoodHold, Giant Eagle, Good & Gather, Great Value, Hannaford, Harris Teeter, H-E-B Higher Harveet,  Kodiak Cakes, Pics By Price Chopper, Publix, Schnucks, SE Grocers, Simple Truth, Tops, Western Family, and No Name.


If you have these waffles in the freezer or fridge, do not consume them.  Return them to the place of purchase for a refund.  For more information, call Tree House Foods at 1-800-596-2903.
