Canada-based Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited is recalling sliced mushrooms from the market since “they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes,” the company said in an announcement published on July 11 by the Food and Drug Administration.

Three brands are subject to the recall: Aunt Mid’s Fresh Sliced Mushrooms, Peeters Mushroom Farm Cremini Sliced, and Peeters Mushroom Farm Thick Slice Mushrooms. The items were distributed in Ohio and Michigan.
