Plain-English summary
Gourmet Classic Salads, Inc., a Lake Wales, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 3,236 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected items include various salads, wraps, and snack boxes produced and packaged between January 30, 2017, and February 24, 2017. These products bear establishment number EST. 19276 or P-19276 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to a distributor in Florida for further distribution.
The recall was initiated after the FDA notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that the firm may have produced USDA-regulated products on dates when FDA food contact surface samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or illnesses due to consumption of these products. However, 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. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Persons in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and inform their health care provider about the potential exposure.
