Veggie Noodle Co. LLC is voluntarily recalling its Cece’s Veggie Co. brand Fresh Veggie Ramen with Chicken Broth sold at retail stores nationally, because the separately packaged egg that is included in the product has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No other Cece’s brand products are subject to this recall. 
Veggie Noodle issued the voluntary recall for the 11.5-ounce item (UPC 5228700653) out of an abundance of caution, due to a recall by a provider of the eggs, Almark Foods, used in the product.
Veggie Noodle has received no reports of illness associated with the recalled Fresh Veggie Ramen with Chicken Broth product. No other Veggie Noodle/Cece’s products are affected by the recall, and may be consumed.
An illness outbreak appears to be associated with eggs supplied by Almark Foods, which were ingredients in foods produced by other companies.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
