Avocados are unbelievably so delicious. There are those who love a baked avocado breakfast, guacamole or an avocado toast. I always struggled to find out when an avocado is ripe, but I finally learned the trick.

If you happen to live in Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Florida, Arizona or California and have some avocados that you bought recently, be sure to check their stickers. If you have a sticker that says “Bravocado,” make sure you return them to where you bought them. Also, if you happen to live in any of the 6 states and see a sticker indicating “California” on your organic avocados, return them to the store.

The recall i as result of the possibility of the avocados having a listeria contamination.
