An Ohio farm has recalled a variety of produce items sold in stores across 18 states amid concerns of possible listeria contamination. The recall is an expansion of an earlier recall.

Wiers Farm voluntarily recalled numerous packaged and bulk vegetables, fruits, and herbs that were packed between July 5 and 12 and were sold at certain Walmart, Kroger, and Aldi stores, among others, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The initial recall was limited to whole and packaged salad cucumbers sold in some Walmart stores in Minnesota, Indiana, and Ohio, the FDA announced on July 16.
