Why it’s dangerous
The vegetables in these products may contain Salmonella or Listeria monocytogenes. Consuming contaminated food can cause salmonellosis (diarrhea, cramps, fever) or listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or life-threatening illness in vulnerable groups.
Who’s affected
Institutional buyers in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and New Jersey who purchased specific bulk cases of pork and chicken products between October 2017 and October 2018. Older adults, infants, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for bulk cases of Provolone and Roasted Peppers Omelet with Sicilian Potatoes & Italian Chicken Sausage, Chicken Chorizo & Montamore Scramble, or Pancetta Style Crumble & Smoked Fontina Scramble. Look for the USDA establishment number P-4226 inside the mark of inspection and specific lot codes listed in the record (e.g., 01/02/18, 04/30/18).
