In many towns across the United States, people have a variety of grocery stores to choose from. Some are more popular in areas than others, but one that is increasing in popularity in all areas is Walmart. In fact, most people live within 10 minutes of Walmart and when you consider the price of food, it is well worth making that short trip. You can save money and have the convenience of buying anything else that you may need as well.
From time to time, grocery stores have a recall of certain foods that they sell. Most of us have grown accustomed to this happening, but the one that has recently happened to the frozen food at Walmart is downright frightening. In fact, the recall is so massive that it may just take you by surprise. If you happened to buy any frozen foods from Walmart, it’s a good idea to go and check your freezer now.
The customer service at Walmart varies from one area to another, but they claim to be good on customer service. You may just need to test that resolve, however, if you happen to find that you purchased veggies from the giant retailer and now they need to be returned. Those vegetables include everything from peas and carrots to mixed vegetables and now Walmart is being forced to put out a warning about the products that come from the National Frozen Foods Corporation. The issue is that they may be tainted with listeria and the FDA is coming down hard on Walmart and other sellers.
There is a complete list of the food items that are included in the recall below. You have two different choices if you have these in your freezer. You can throw them away or return them to Walmart for a full refund. The one thing that you don’t want to do, however, is use them because they could be contaminated.
These potentially tainted foods were sold between September 2, 2015 and June 2, 2016.
Considering the fact that most people eat these products within a few weeks of purchasing them, this recall is coming in a bit late.
