If you purchased Trader Joe’s Soycutash with those specific identifying numbers in those states, do not eat it, even if you plan to cook it thoroughly before consumption. You can throw the item away in a double bagged package inside a secure trash can with a tight lid so other people can’t access it, or you can take it back to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.
You should then clean your refrigerator or freezer, wherever you stored this product, with a mild bleach solution of one tablespoon liquid chlorine beach to one gallon of warm water to kill any bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes grows at refrigerator temperatures, and freezing does not destroy it. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after cleaning and after handling this product.
If you ate this product, monitor your health for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days; that’s how long the incubation period can be. If you do get sick, see your doctor.
