Minneapolis-based Metro Produce Distributors Inc. is voluntarily recalling all Lunds & Byerlys fresh guacamole products with a use-by date of Aug. 2, 2024, due to a potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, according to a company announcement through the Food and Drug Administration.
No confirmed illnesses had been reported at the time of the announcement, the company said.
