# Major Recall Alert: Needle Mushrooms Recalled Due to Potential Foodborne Illness – Listeria monocytogenes
LLK TRADING INC., based in Linden, NJ, has issued a major recall of its 200g packages of "Needle Mushrooms." This action comes amid concerns about **Listeria monocytogenes**, a dangerous bacteria that can cause severe health issues, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.

## Why This Recall is Important
**Listeria monocytogenes** is no ordinary contaminant—it poses a serious health risk. While healthy individuals may only experience short-term symptoms, such as fever, nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, the infection can have grave consequences for high-risk groups. Pregnant women exposed to Listeria are at risk of miscarriage or stillbirth, while older adults and those with compromised immune systems could face life-threatening complications.
Though no illnesses linked to this recall have been reported thus far, immediate action is urged as Listeria contamination can have severe, even fatal, consequences.
