The U.S. Food and Drug Administration upgraded the classification of recalled broccoli sold at Walmart originally issued in December to its highest recall category, according to the agency’s updated report.

Last year, California-based grocery producer Braga Fresh voluntarily issued a precautionary recall of 12-ounce washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Broccoli Florets sold at more than 1,000 Walmart stores due to the possibility of Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The FDA announced the initial recall on Dec. 31, 2024, for Braga Fresh's washed and ready-to-eat 12-ounce bags of Marketside Broccoli Florets.
