Frozen vegetables have been recalled from three popular supermarkets.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand and Greenyard Frozen Belgium NV are recalling a list of frozen vegetable products following a possible listeria scare.

Concern with listeria was widespread in the eastern states after contaminated rockmelons struck down several people, killing six people.

The bacteria causes listeriosis and can cause illness in unborn babies, the elderly, pregnant women and those with low immune systems.
