Just days after a massive recall involving some of Trader Joe's frozen fruits and vegetables, the popular grocer has issued another recall, this time for its broccoli slaw and kale salad due to concerns over listeria.

Vallejo-based Ghiringhelli Specialty Foods has recalled 33,000 pounds of the product.

Officials say sunflower seeds in the salad may be contaminated with the bacteria which can be fatal to young children, elderly people and those with compromised immune systems.

The item, sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah, has use-by dates between May 2 and 7.

Customers who purchased the product should not consume it, just throw it away or return it to any Trader Joe's for a full refund.
