Nearly a dozen guacamoles, peppers and vegetables have received the FDA’s most dangerous warning label, health officials announced.

In July, Michigan-based Supreme Service Solutions LLC voluntarily recalled 19 products sold in Kroger stores because they were possibly contaminated with listeria, a foodborne bacteria that kills about one in five patients.

The FDA announced last month that 11 of the 19 recalled products received a ‘Class 1’ designation, meaning there is a ‘reasonable likelihood’ that exposure to eggs ‘will cause serious adverse health consequences or death’.

No illnesses or deaths have been reported.

The affected products were sold at Kroger stores in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.

All affected vegetables were sold in transparent plastic containers.

The FDA noted that all of the products involved should have passed their “best buy” dates, which ranged from July 9 to July 28.

In a company announcement, the manufacturer said the “potential contamination” was discovered during routine sampling by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

That investigation led Supreme Service Solutions LLC to initiate a voluntary recall.

Listeria, also called listeriosis, is a serious infection caused by eating foods contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

It can be found in moist environments, soil, water, decomposing vegetation and animals, and can survive refrigeration and other food preservation measures.

Many foods can harbor the virus, but it is typically found in unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses, and ready-to-eat foods such as packaged sandwiches. Cooked seafood, cured meats, and fish, including sushi and pre-cut fruit, also pose a risk.

Most people who eat foods contaminated with Listeria will not become seriously ill. But in some cases it can cause confusion and seizures, miscarriages in pregnant women, and even death.

This can happen when the infection spreads beyond the intestine and can affect the central nervous system, which can cause numbness and seizures.

The CDC estimates that 1,600 Americans become infected with listeria each year and about 260 die.

The FDA advised customers to discard the affected products.
