Inventure Foods Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, is recalling its Rader Farms Fresh Start Smoothie Blend and Fresh Start Sunrise Refresh Fusion and Fresh Start Daily Power Fusion blends because of potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. There are no known illnesses linked to consumption of Rader Farms Fresh Start Blends to date. The recalled blends themselves did not test positive for Listeria monocytogenes, the company stated. However, Listeria monocytogenes was detected on spinach and/or kale ingredients on another lot, which is currently placed on hold. The spinach and kale ingredients used to manufacture the recalled blends were supplied by the same outside party, according to the company. The Fresh Start Smoothie Blend is distributed in 48-oz. (3 lbs.) packages at Costco stores in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington, and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The Fresh Start Sunrise Refresh Fusion and Fresh Start Daily Power Fusion products are distributed in 35-oz. packages at Walmart stores in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. No other Rader Farms products are impacted by this recall.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which 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.
