(RNN) - Woodstock Organic Matcha Vanilla Oats are being recalled nationwide from retail stores because of possible contamination by listeria. Garden of Light or Blue Marble Brands, the company that makes the product, issued the recall voluntarily.
The product comes in a 1.8 oz paperboard cup with a green laminated film lid, according to a notice posted Tuesday on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration site. The UPC code on the containers is 0-42563-01786-6, and the Best Buy Date Code of “SELL BY MAY 11 2018” is on the bottom of cup.
