(WFLA) – You might want to check your freezer to see if you have sweet peas that have been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. The sweet peas were sold at Florida Aldi stores.

The FDA announced that Lakeside Foods, Inc. of Manitowoc, WI is voluntarily recalling 1,920 packages of 16-ounce Season’s Choice Brand Frozen Peas because the vegetables have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The sweet peas were packed for Aldi and were sold at Aldi stores in Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Florida.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The sweet peas were distributed in poly bags under the following label codes:
