Individual bags carry lot code 2517061 and cases are marked with a packed-on date of 6-18-25. The product was distributed for foodservice only. The recall covers 60 cases of 30 pounds each, distributed in Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The recall was issued because of potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA classified the action as Class I, the category the agency uses when there is a reasonable probability that exposure will cause serious health consequences or death.

Foodservice operators holding this lot should not serve the product and should follow the recalling firm's instructions for return or disposal. Because Listeria infection can take weeks to produce symptoms, anyone who has eaten the product and feels unwell should tell their doctor what they ate.
