 USA Today -  A recall of potentially contaminated cucumbers sold at Walmart stores in three states has been expanded to include more vegetables sold at Walmart and Aldi stores across more than a dozen states. Wiers Farm, based in Willard, Ohio, has expanded its recall to include more produce "out of an abundance of caution," the company said in the recall notice on Monday. Wiers Farms issued an initial recall of whole and salad cucumbers for possible listeria contamination on June 12.

The recall now includes vegetables such as green beans and peppers sold at Walmart and Aldi stores in several states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Other vegetables sold individually in bulk in 18 states have also been recalled for listeria risk, according to the FDA. Listeria is a type of bacteria that can contaminate foods. When eaten, it can lead to an infection with symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 1,600 people get sick from listeria each year and about 260 die, the CDC says.
