Hundreds of frozen waffle products sold across major US retailers have been recalled due to concerns over possible Listeria risk.
On Friday (October 18), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that Illinois-based manufacturer TreeHouse Foods issued a voluntary recall of certain frozen waffle products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the US.
