The Giant Co. Issues Recall of Frozen Waffles Due to Listeria Concerns

The Giant Company has announced a recall of its Giant and Martin's brand frozen waffles, citing potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This recall was initiated following alerts from their supplier, Treehouse Foods, regarding the possible contamination. Listeria is a serious infection that can cause severe illness, especially in older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

In a statement to the public, The Giant Co. advised consumers who have purchased the affected products to refrain from consuming them. Customers are instructed to discard the impacted items and contact the company’s customer service team to obtain a full refund. The specific products involved in the recall were not detailed in the initial announcement.

“The safety of our customers is our top priority,” a spokesperson for The Giant Co. stated. “We are working closely with our suppliers and regulators to ensure the issue is resolved swiftly and effectively.” The company emphasized its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Consumers who are seeking more information about the recall are encouraged to visit The Giant Co.’s official website or reach out to their customer service center. The company has assured that no illnesses linked to the consumption of the affected product have been reported thus far.

Treehouse Foods, which supplies the frozen waffles, has not provided further comment on the matter. However, they are actively cooperating with The Giant Co. to investigate the source of the contamination and prevent a recurrence. The FDA and other food safety authorities have been apprised of the situation and are monitoring the developments closely.
