Henry’s Farm Inc. of Woodford, VA, is [recalling](http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/news/releases-b/040315soybeans.shtml?ref=foodsafetynews.com) all packages of soybean sprouts because they may be contaminated with *Listeria monocytogenes.*

The following products are being recalled by the firm.

1. 1-lb. bags of soybean sprouts in clear plastic bags labeled “Natto Soybean Sprouts” “Keep Refrigerated” with a UPC Code of 1303020000 produced on or after March 24, 2015.
2. 10-lb. bags of soybean sprouts in black plastic bags labeled “Soy Bean Sprouts” “Keep Refrigerated” produced on or after March 24, 2015.

These items were distributed to retail stores in Virginia and Maryland. The contamination was discovered after sampling by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) Food Safety Program and subsequent analysis by the Virginia Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services that revealed the presence of *Listeria monocytogenes* in the products. No illnesses have been reported to date. Individuals who purchased soybean sprouts distributed by Henry’s Farm should return the product to the place of sale for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company directly at (301) 802- 2996 or the VDACS Food Safety Program at (804) 786-3520\. *Listeria* bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections to individuals 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. Henry’s Farm previously [recalled](http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/news/releases-a/112514sproutsrecall.shtml?ref=foodsafetynews.com) soybean sprouts in November 2014 for possible *Listeria* contamination.
