Is this massive food recall coming just before the summer months an unfortunate incident, or is there something sinister and deliberate behind it?

May 15, 2016 – CNN – Listeria contamination has prompted a flurry of food recalls in the past three weeks.

Fourteen voluntary recalls have been announced related to a listeria outbreak that has caused eight cases of illness in three states. On April 23, CRF Frozen Foods recalled 11 of its products because of possible listeria contamination. Then, on May 2, it expanded that recall to include all frozen vegetable and fruit products that had been processed at its Pasco, Washington, facility since May 2014. This accounts for 358 products sold under 42 brands.

Since then, at least 13 additional recalls have been announced that are linked to the CRF recall. Most of them are frozen vegetable products or contain ingredients that were part of the CRF Frozen Foods recall. The products were sold throughout the U.S. and in Canada.

The illnesses actually date to September 2013, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All eight individuals have been hospitalized, and there have been two deaths, although listeria is not the cause of death in those cases.
