Nam & Son of MD Recalls Soybean Sprouts Because of Possible Health Risk

Raleigh, N.C., Jan. 14, 2026 — Nam & Son of MD is recalling 1‑pound bags of soybean sprouts because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and do not eat it; vulnerable groups including young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk.

The recall covers 1 lb plastic retail bags labeled under Nam & Son of MD DBA Sam Sung S & M Food with a sell‑by date of December 21, 2023, identified by lot code(s) with that date. These soybean sprouts have been sold online and at select U.S. retailers in Maryland and were distributed beginning Dec. 14, 2023. No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall follows state testing that confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample; the company is investigating the root cause.

Consumers should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, and contact their healthcare provider if they have symptoms or health concerns. For questions or to request a refund or replacement, contact Nam & Son at 443‑896‑6738 (24 hours EST, seven days a week) or email [email protected]; if no email applies, consumers should check retailer notices or contact the place of purchase for further instructions.
