Good Seed Inc. of Springfield, Virginia has issued a recall of soybean and mung bean sprouts for possible listeria contamination.

The company issued the recall on its one-, two- and ten-pound products produced on or after April 1.

The contamination was discovered after sampling by the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Food Safety Program.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious, sometimes fatal, infections in people with weakened immune systems.

Healthy individuals may suffer from high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In pregnant women, listeria can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.

Consumers who bought the soybean and mung bean sprouts in Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey or North Carolina should return them to the store for a full refund.

This is the second recall for soybean sprouts from a company in Virginia.

On April 3, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for soybean sprouts produced by Henry’s Farms Inc., in Woodford.

That recall was also due to listeria contamination for products produced on or after March 24 and sold in Virginia or Maryland.
