Henry Avocado Corp. is voluntarily recalling California-grown whole avocados sold in bulk at retail stores for potential listeria contamination. The company issued the recall out of an abundance of caution following positive test results on environmental samples taken during a routine government inspection at its California packing facility.
The recalled products, including California-grown conventional and organic avocados, were packed at the company's packing facility in California and distributed in Arizona, California, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. All shipments from the packing facility are subject to recall. Avocados imported from Mexico and distributed by Henry Avocado are not subject to the recall and may continue to be sold and consumed, the company stated.
For conventional products purchased at retail, consumers can identify the recalled products by the "Bravocado" stickers. Henry Avocado organic products do not carry the "Bravocado" label on the sticker and are instead labeled "organic" and include "California" on the sticker. Retailers can identify Henry Avocado organic products by the bar code on their stickers.
