Plain-English summary
Sally Sherman Foods, a Mount Vernon, New York establishment, is recalling approximately 3,004 pounds of various chicken salad products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on February 25, 2016. The affected items include 4-lb. plastic containers of Sally Sherman Spa Chicken Salad with Greek Yogurt, Chicken Salad All White Meat, Deluxe Chicken Salad All White Meat, Farmcrest Chicken Salad, and Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad. These products were produced between February 2 and February 18, 2016, and bear establishment number P-4400 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after in-plant sampling confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The products were shipped to distributor locations in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness due to the 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. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
