Plain-English summary
Don Novo & Son, a Miami, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 9,330 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were produced on December 21, 2023, and bear establishment number EST. 34257 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The specific items subject to recall include 1-lb. packages of Don Novo Chorizo Fully Cooked, 1-lb. packages of Don Novo Costillas Ahumadas Smoked Pork Ribs, 12-lb. packages of Don Novo Jamon Dulce Sweet Cooked Ham and Water Products, 5.4-lb. to 5.5-lb. packages of Don Novo Mortadella Cubana Cuban Brand Mortadela, and 1.5-lb. packages of Don Novo Lomo Ahumado Smoked Pork Loin. All recalled packages have an expiration date of 3/30/2024 printed on them.
The recall was initiated after FSIS was notified that a sample collected by a state public health partner tested positive for the presence of L. monocytogenes. These items were shipped to retail locations in Florida. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
