HH Fresh enoki: listeria in the 150 g bag
Enoki mushrooms with possible Listeria — 120 cases through Florida wholesalers. Recall late July 2026; the bag that rides in hot pots and raw salads alike.

What happened
HH Fresh Trading recalled its 150 g plastic-bagged enoki mushrooms over possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination — 120 cases distributed to local wholesalers in Florida, late July 2026.
The recall cites a possible health risk; no illness count was published with it.
A mushroom sold for its crunch, recalled for the bacterium that rides on the cold chain.
Why it happened
- Possible Listeria in 150 g enoki bags — 120 cases via Florida wholesalers; recalled late Jul 2026
- Enoki ships raw and eats raw — the cold chain is the only barrier listeria ever met
- 120 cases is a small recall with a long shadow — the wholesaler web multiplies the bag's reach
The lesson
Listeria is the tax on the cold chain. A bag of enoki carries whatever the chain carried — 120 cases recall the bacterium, not the mushroom.
