Several types of mushrooms have been recalled in the US because they could be contaminated with bacteria that could cause deadly infections.
Enoki mushrooms and a few kinds of sliced mushrooms sold in three states could be tainted with Listeria monocytogenes.
LLK Trading Inc on Sunday recalled 200-gram packages of its Needle Mushrooms, also known as Enoki mushrooms, that were sent to Bally Produce Corp in Maspeth, New York, and sold to Datang Supermarket Inc.
They are in plastic packaging that is clear on the top and blue at the bottom.

The nation’s agency responsible for protecting the public health found listeria after doing routine testing of some packages. Product sales have stopped as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the company investigate how the contamination started.
There have not been any reports of customers becoming sick from eating the Enoki mushrooms, according to the announcement published by the FDA.
Customers should not eat them and return them for a full refund. Anyone with questions is urged to contact the company, which is based in Linden, New Jersey.

It can cause pregnant women to have miscarriages or stillbirths. Healthy people can experience symptoms including diarrhoea, strong headaches, high fever, abdominal pain, nausea and stiffness.
