OTTAWA – Costco is recalling Organic by Nature brand frozen Organic Sweet Peas due to possible Listeria contamination.

The product was sold in 2.5 kg packages at Costco locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan (UPC code 8 46355 00061 9).

Anyone who purchased the sweet peas should return them to the store or throw them out.

The Listeria bacteria can cause a range of symptoms including vomiting, fever and severe headaches, however, there have been no reported illnesses linked to the product.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall in Canada was triggered by a recall of the product in the United States. It’s the second recall this month of a food product sold at Cosco.
