MG Foods deli sandwich recalled due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination in meat slicer

The FDA recalled MG Foods chilled deli sandwiches after detecting Listeria monocytogenes during internal testing of a meat slicer.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard (Listeria monocytogenes) is theoretical until confirmed cases occur. Per the rubric, when no illnesses/injuries are reported, the maximum score is 3 (High). Although Listeria is a serious pathogen, the absence of confirmed cases prevents assignment of a higher severity score.

Plain-English summary

The FDA issued recall F-0414-2021 for MG Foods' chilled deli sandwich product (MG Foods CHEDDAR HALF AND HALF TURKEY & CHEDAR WITH TOMATO AIOLI AND A SIDE OF SPRING MIX) because positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes were found during in-house environmental sampling on one of the company's meat slicers. The product was distributed to Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia.

Consumers who purchased this 7.7 oz package should discard the product immediately. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, the presence of a high-risk pathogen like Listeria warrants a moderate-severity recall. Affected consumers are advised to seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms after consuming the product.
