Ukrop's Homestyle Foods Ready-To-Eat Products Recalled for Possible Listeria

Summary

Ukrop's Homestyle Foods is recalling approximately 18,296 pounds of various ready-to-eat meat and poultry deli products, including wraps, pinwheels, and trays. These products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which was discovered after the company processed ingredients from a previously recalled supplier. The affected items were produced and packaged between September 14, 2018, and October 3, 2018, and were sold at retail locations in five states. Consumers should return these products to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or throw them away.

Risk

The products may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that is particularly dangerous for older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, and convulsions, and in pregnant women, the infection can lead to miscarriages or stillbirths.
