Plain-English summary
Lean Culinary Services, LLC, a Hollywood, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 223 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken salad products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The affected items were produced on February 12, 2019, and bear establishment number P-46167 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The specific products subject to recall include 14.9-oz. plastic tubs of classic chicken salad made with Bell & Evans White Meat Chicken (Best By 2-17-19), 8-lb plastic bags of classic chicken salad for deli counter use (Sell By 2-19-19), 7.8-oz. plastic tubs of DeliverLean Classic Chicken Salad (Use By 2/17/19), and 5.5-oz. plastic tubs of DeliverLean Chicken Salad Bento Box (Use By 2/17/19). These items were shipped to retail locations in Florida.
The issue was identified on February 18, 2019, when FSIS inspection personnel verified that product had tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
