(CNN)First it was onions and now, it's lemons, limes, oranges and red potatoes.
The FDA has announced a voluntary recall by Freshouse II LLC due to a potential listeria contamination.
The recall was issued after Freshouse found Listeria monocytogenes on a piece of equipment at one of its packing facilities,
according to a statement on the FDA website.
"We voluntarily issued this recall out of an abundance of caution with the steadfast intent to minimize even the slightest risk to public health," Freshouse President Jamey Friedman said in a statement.
