Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Product Contamination"
Plain-English summary
Schnucks Kitchen, an establishment in O'Fallon, Missouri, is recalling approximately 130 pounds of Curry White Meat Chicken Salad. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The product was produced on April 24, 2014, and shipped to Schnucks retail grocery locations for deli distribution in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
The issue was identified when routine FSIS sampling tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes on April 28, 2014. The company later determined that bulk walnuts from an outside supplier may have been contaminated. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. The affected product is sold in 3-lb. sealed plastic bags or in various plastic containers at deli counters, with purchase dates between April 24, 2014, and May 2, 2014.
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. FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen in consumers' freezers. Consumers with questions can contact Schnucks Kitchen or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
