All shipments from the packing facility, including conventional and organic avocados, are subject to the recall, the company said.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of infection include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
