The recall affects 12-ounce bags of the product, which were sold in 20 states and pose serious health risks if consumed.

Broccoli packages sold at Walmart stores in 20 states have received an elevated recall status over a Listeria contamination that has potentially fatal consequences.

The FDA first announced on December 18, 2024, that Frito-Lay issued a recall on a “limited number” of the 13 oz bags of chips. These Lay’s Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they “may contain undeclared milk ,” which Frito-Lay learned “after being alerted through a consumer contact.”

Broccoli florets sold in Walmart stores across 20 states that were recalled over bacterial contamination fears have been given the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s highest risk level. A single production lot of the washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Broccoli Florets by Braga Fresh were voluntarily recalled after random testing by Texas Health and Human Services in a store identified the presence of the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
