Fineberg Packing Co., Inc. is recalling approximately 8,822 pounds of ready-to-eat ham products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes 14-pound packages of Fineberg’s Finest Danish Brand BBQ Flavored Ham and 30.6-pound boxes of Holly Brand hickory smoked fully cooked ham. These products were packaged on January 16, 2017, and shipped to distributors in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. No illnesses have been reported to date, but the issue was discovered during a routine food safety assessment. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.
The product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection. This infection primarily poses a high risk to older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems, and can lead to severe symptoms including fever, muscle aches, and convulsions.
