Popular Frozen Waffles Recalled Over Contamination Concerns

Several popular frozen waffle brands that are sold at some of the nation's top retailers have been recalled over contamination concerns.

According to USA Today, TreeHouse Foods issued a recall for its frozen waffles due to them containing possible listeria. The contamination occurred at one of their factors.

"This issue was discovered through routine testing at our manufacturing facility in Brantford, Ontario, Canada," Howard Karesh, a spokesperson for TreeHouse Foods, said in a statement.

"There have been no confirmed reports of illnesses or injuries linked to the recalled products," he added.

The FDA lists listeria as "an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems."

The waffles were sold at the following stores: Dollar General, Walmart, Target, Publix and Stop & Shop.

TreeHouse Foods is urging its customers to check their freezers to see if they have any of the contaminated waffles. Customers are able to get a refund from the store that the waffles were purchased at.
