Duda Recalls Celery Sticks for Listeria Risk in 29 States

Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of over 1,500 cases of Marketside Celery Sticks sold at Walmart due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled celery sticks were sold in 29 states and have a 'Best if Used by' date of March 23, 2025, and a Lot Code P047650. Although no illnesses have been reported, consumers are advised to discard any remaining celery, including any that may have been frozen. This precautionary measure follows positive test results for listeria from a random sample collected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Listeria can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations, and may lead to miscarriages in pregnant women. Other products from Duda Farm Fresh Foods and the Marketside brand are not affected by this recall.
