A sprouts grower that recalled alfalfa sprouts last month because of a positive Salmonella test is now pulling more varieties off the market because of Listeria concerns.

In a news release this weekend, Texas-based Green Valley Food Corp. said it is recalling approximately 35,159 cases of sprouts because several random samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

There have been no “confirmed illnesses” associated with the sprouts, according to the company’s recall notice.

The recall includes the 650 cases of alfalfa sprouts recalled Dec. 23 and 24, as well as sprouts that have use-by dates from Dec. 22, 2011 to Jan. 17, 2012.  Customers who received any of the sprouts from Dec. 7, 2011 to Jan. 1, 2012 are affected by the recall, the company said.

The sprouts were distributed in Texas to grocery store distribution centers and food service customers.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
