Following routine monitoring for the presence of Listeria contamination, three sources of Enoki mushrooms have been recalled. Rainfield Marketing Group has recalled mushrooms from Korea.  California Terra Garden Inc has recalled Guan’s Seafood mushrooms from China and Marquis Worldwide Speciality Company has recalled Enoki mushrooms presumably also imported from Asia.

Enoki mushrooms may be consumed raw and may also be responsible for cross contamination during food preparation. Accordingly the risk of exposure to Listeria and the consequences of listeriosis initiated recalls since there is zero tolerance for Listeria contamination.  Listeriosis is exceptionally dangerous in the elderly, the immunosuppressed and in pregnant women.
